Hypocrisy at its best. What makes it better is that even copyright holders can't legally have cracks in the US of A. GOOOOOOOO Noobiesoft

Thanks for posting the news.Also, I noticed this:After Ubisoft found out that I had revealed this, Everyone on Facebook who is in the "Ubisoft Entertainment" network blocked me, save a few people. I've only contacted one so far and intend to stay on that.I'll see if I can get you guys more news in the meantime.

Copy protections are nonsense. They only harm us that are buying original licensed software. Copy protections can not stop those who are not willing to pay (usually for over expensive to be honest) software. It is paradox that users who are using no CD fixes experience much less annoying than we do. It is a shame and also it makes you wonder is it worth all the trouble.
