Zoinks,

...Just to be absolutely clear, there is no supposedly "legal" way (I really do think this depends on where you live and possible interpretation)....but there is a way, and it is easy enough to find if you search using google for instance.

I am dead set against piracy, but really, really hate to hear about people with legally purchased copies being forced to choose either not to install the game or installing it and having SF cause computer problems.

When I purchased SHIII I had no idea what S.F. was nor was I aware of problems people were having with it...I did not even know S.F. was installed by SHIII.

When I first got SHIII I had nothing but problems with S.F., some were resolved by S.F. Tech Support but the problems with my optical drive were not. I finally got to the point where I had to decide between removing SHIII or doing something of questionable legality. Being that I paid my good money for it and I did everything reasonable to resolve the issues I was encountering...well lets just say, I am still playing it.

In this instance, I see absolutely no moral problem with either decision, and solid moral standing trumps bad law in my book.

I think UBI is too blame for this situation more than S.F. at this point, they need to make it so that users are not put in the situation of having to break the law to use their purchased product.
