Thinking about buying SH4...

Go to Amazon and get the SH4 Gold edition disk. That is V1.5 and the u boat missions add on. That's all you need.

No CD key needed and no copy protection.

Sorry guys! I will keep my lip shut about certain things in the future.

I was indeed planning to buy SH4 Gold, but I was mainly concerned if "used" copies were still kosher.

Rather, I can buy SH4 Gold as a digital download from Amazon for $20, or I could get a used, but tangible, disk for $5. I did click on the subsim link at the top of this page here to start, so subsim should get a cut either way.

Yes, the used disc is fine. As Magic pointed out, copy protection and CD requirements were removed from the Gold 1.5 version. Just make sure it's Gold, and if it's five bucks then you're good to go.
