  • lybrel, on 07/18/2008, -0/+6Hypocrisy at its best.

    What makes it better is that even copyright holders can't legally have cracks in the US of A.

    GOOOOOOOO Noobiesoft
  • FutureBlues, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Owned?!
  • yagsnave, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2I can't wait to hear how the anti-piracy groups will try and spin this.
  • Draculecom, on 07/19/2008, -0/+1Uh, this is already front-page Digg http://digg.com/pc_games/Ubisoft_releases_no_CD_fi ...

  • judge901, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0Copy 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.
  • neilthecellist, on 07/21/2008, -0/+0Hey, it's Neil here. 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.
  • Thracks, on 07/19/2008, -0/+0Already on the front page, and posted more than 10 hours after this gentleman who broke the story.
  • swens, on 07/18/2008, -1/+0Perfect, I love to see it when AntiPiracy Tactics Bite someone in the Ass..

    Produce a better game with less bugs, The people that like the game will always pay for it.

    The alternative is this...How many fans do you think youve pissed off now Ubi.

    Love it love it love it.!
