Never said it was a pirate version you had. 
Why would you think that?
Using my car analogue does it matter if your lost car was stolden by you or purchased by you before you lost it? Don't think so.
Anyway I gave you your answer, which is NO you bought the game with no manual, that is not Paradox's fault, I suspect you did not pay full price because it did not have a manual, therefore my answer is the same if you want a manual you need to buy a retail copy, they do come with a manual.

No faster way to go blind then reading from a computer screen.
If you have vision problems, you probably already have a much better magnifying glass then any cheap one you would get included with a game.

I knew someone would say exactly just what you did.
THe reason your analogue does not hold is that the print cost of the manual is prob. more than the cost of the manufactoriing the CD itself. Since both contain copyrighted material, the manual is physically worth more than the CD itself. So you would have to say if you continue the analogue that the manual is the car and the cd is the owners manual.
It is not that paradox does not sell a seperate manual it is just that the manual is not discounted from the package price of the manual and the CD. I therefore instructed him to purchase a new game, he can do that direct from Pdox e-butik. If he does not want another copy of the CD I am sure Flori will take the manual out of a box and ship that by itself.
Maybe at sometime in the future Pdox will look at selling replacement manuals at a discounted price but it is not set up to do that at the moment.
I never mentioned Piracy as the reason why the manual is not distributed on PDF. In fact in my analogue I implied it did not matter.
That could be a minor reason another could be the licencing issue, being able to distribute a physical copy of the manual is not the same rights as being able to distribute the text as a whole using electronic media. This runs into rights negotiated with the original author, and distribution agreements with various producers, publishers, and distrubuters.
