What is Subsim.com's stance in relation to warez and piracy? SUBSIM Review has a longstanding policy against software piracy. We do NOT allow discussion or even mention of warez, abandonware, peer-to-peer game swapping, illegal download sites, or rip-off websites. Nothing will get you banned faster than pointing people to illegal software distribution sites. Don't ask for serial numbers, manuals, or cracks. Any admission that you have in your possession illegal software can and usually will result in revocation of your Radio Room forum account. Support computer game programmers buy legally purchasing their work. They have to eat too, you know.

Look, Neal and the moderators don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home, but don't discuss it here.

Subsim is in the United States. The server is here in Houston, Texas. The laws of the United States apply to said server. If server has illegal content, administrator of server is legally responsible for it.
Circumvention of DRM, as well as information and tools for such, are illegal under the DMCA in the US. If someone from Ubisoft were to complain to Neal's server hosting company, the server would be unplugged, and Subsim would be gone. I know, I used to work for the company.
Granted, this is a worst case scenario, but just go along with Neal's wishes, and don't talk about it here.
