Security/copy protection etc

Just a friendly reminder so i dont have to get involved:

be carefull in what you say since this subject can cause someone to make an innocent slip of the tongue and get in trouble so choose your words carefully before hitting the "post" button

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 sharing websites. Nothing will get you banned faster than pointing people to illegal software distribution sites. Do not 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.

While the administrators and moderators of SUBSIM Radio Room Forums will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrator, moderators or webmaster ; and the administrator, moderators or webmaster will not be held liable.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that contain software piracy, warez, or illegal downloads, are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The owners of SUBSIM Radio Room Forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread and remove or ban any user account for any reason.

Download updates and patches only for registred versions solve all piracy problems...

I certainly wasn't looking to discuss the forbidden topic. I am totally opposed to it.

Just wanted to ask about the means employed in SH5 to prevent it.

Fine line, I know, but worth raising I thought.

As you've not locked this thread or given me a slap I'm assuming it's OK provided we're sensible and take due care as mentioned in your post. I note Neal has also posted a thread about the 'issue'. Sorry if I'm leading anyone astray; certainly not my intention.

Cheers

you missunderstood my intention

this thread is fine, everything said so far is fine

i just wanted to remind anyone voicing opinions on the subject to remember whats ok to say and whats not ok to say on the subject

everyone has their own views on the topic and i dont want to slap a wrist or give infractions especially when someone is just giving an honest reply or opinion but my precationary post was to remind everyone not to be promoting or admitting to actually using no-cd cracks or admiting to using or doing something related to piracy

No, I figured this is what you were getting at.

Given the sensible zero tolerence policy toward the issue, it's good for people to be reminded when discussing something that is closely related.

I have to agree that if they use an invasive copy protection i won't bother with SH5. i can see how pirates cost the gaming companys money, but after i have proven i have a legal version of the game then i don't want anything playing big brother on my machine.
