I don't think he was asking for the disks/software; all he said he wanted was
the titles, and you can certainly imagine situations where you would need
just the titles (e.g., where you've already got pirated versions of the
software that were pirated badly such that the labels were not
transfered).  If I thought about it, I could even come up with a
legitmate reason for his request.

As far as I can tell, his request is kosher (though just barely so)

(BTW, its kind of like advertising looking for a massage, if you get my
drift...)
