Talk about double standards...

[Feuerfalke]

Yeah, good example!

This was in various online-gaming magazines a few weeks ago. The NoCD-Patch solved an issue with the copy-protection and some guy from UBI thought this would be the easiest way to get around that problem and uploaded the crack on the UBI-Servers.

It was the Crack 1:1, so it was no piracy. They just changed the name, according to the articles.

Nevertheless, it cost the guy at UBI his job and he will also have juristical consequences, because the crack does not only modify copyright protected stuff from UBI but also from the company who developed the copy-protection.


So I couldn't agree more: Double standards and a lot more complicated than doing something, because it's fun and you have the tools to do so.

Oh! And I got banned for five days for mentioning the afore mentioned crack in a supprt forum on this very site. This despite owning every incarnation of the game ever made. Bought IL2 Complete Edition supposedly the complete IL2 and a month later they release 1946 lol...
So how you guys can talk about it unchecked for so long is amazing

And the only thing that would have helped the guy was the afore mentioned unmentionable which you have mentioned

Indeed.

On the other hand, I'd prefer a 5 day ban over losing my job and being prosecuted for software piracy.


Besides, number of copies bought was never a good argument. I bought the complete version for 5 of my friends, just to find out a month later that 1946 was a standalone-version - LOL.

ROFL

I think it a bit harsh to get banned over something that was public knowledge.
