Check the rules for the forums out. Look at the heading....zero tolerance on piracy. There are strict rules about seeking or giving info on CD-cracks.

Perfect oppertunety to rant:
I think this whole "cd-in-drive" thingy is downright annoying in and of itself.
If I buy a legal copy of say, adobe photoshop (just an example) I only need the install disk in the drive to install the software. It will then run without the install disk in the drive, and I can put away the install disk in a vault or something.

So why should it work any diffrent with game software?

Hmm...
Maybe we can convince Brad to make a patch where the disk-in-drive 'feature' is removed?

It wouldn't be a first, the company Bioware had removed the disk-in-drive feature for their game NeverWinter Nights in patch 1.65!
And what a releave it is!

It would be cool if all other game company's followed this good example!
