Forget dialup, what is the broadband saturation rate for whichever country you live in? I can still burn, rip, do whatever.
Ubisoft should be taken to task for whatever copy protection scheme it employs. SF is just doing their bidding. This type of protection is nothing new at Ubi, I recall them using a less invasive scheme with Far Cry.

I keep getting more and more messages from legitimate owners and purchasers of software stating they are now going to go the internet route of getting their software...To clarify further. Not pay for a thing anymore. This will hurt sales for many publishers if the public goes that route. I for one want to own my copy of a piece of software. So all I can say is I can't blame them. I don't endorse it but I can't say I would hold it against someone either. A very touchy situation indeed.
