DRM continues to be an issue.

If piracy is not allowed on Subsim then I respectfully request silent hunter 5 be removed from the forum as it is clearly an attempt by Ubisoft Romania to obtain money by deception, purporting to be a finished working computer game when in fact it is not even close.

I don't think there has ever been a greater case of veiled thievery and deception relating to computer gaming software then Ubisoft Romania's release of Silent Hunter 5.

Its not a great surprise to me that it came from Romania. Along with Russia and the Ukraine, it tops the list for hacking, stealing intellectual property (piracy), extortion, diversion to premium telephone services and other computer related criminal or deceptive enterprises.

It really beggars belief that the rules here protect such a company from financial loss when the funds are generated by what in many countries would be considered criminal or at the least very unethical behavior.

The forum rules are not to protect any software company (legit or otherwise). They are there because the forum owner does not want illegal conduct on his boards, period. Seems pretty damn simple.
