Easy solution. Torrent the iso, return the lost property (the disc) to its owner.

No moral or ethical issue whatsoever. Nobody's rights violated. Everybody wins.

The iso and the disc contain a finger print -> they know it must be you -> you lose
They would still have to prove you a) leaked it, b) didn't prevent someone taking the CD and creating a backup without your permission
While that is true, I still count "getting into legal trouble" as a lose, as Blizzard already has well-payed lawyers. Even if you win in the end, you won't get the time and a compensation for the stress back.
