Well, depends on your knowledge of rules, and the design of the board. BUT of course for a Copyrighted game this would be illegal. 2) Exactly which software do I have to download to play a game over > email?

The actual gamebox [GBX] is neeed plus Scenario;s and game files, depending on how you play, but that's not software. 3) Will the gamemap already be contained within the "gamebox" that > I download, or do I have to use the editor to create the map.

View the gamebox as a way to play a game online, and one or all players should have bought the game in it's physical form. A few games might be out of copyright, or our of print, or whatever, but as a player it is YOUR responsibility to check in Copyright issues for the game you play.
