For your information, I think PCGAMER have an exclusive right to the demo. In that case this might be forbidden by law. I don't know what the implications can be...

It could be bad if they bothered coming after you, but in my opinion they would be HUGE FRIGGIN IDIOTS TO PERSECUTE FANS FOR EATING UP THEIR PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL.

So I would hope that CA/ACtivision would lean on PC Gamer to lay off of you if you were to do that.

They've had their 'exclusive' preview already--they chose to release in the UK. Thats cool, but its going to trickle out.

Share the demo on KaZaA or Direct Connect. That way it will spread fast and noone can sue you =)

Erado maybe right, but I agree with Dionysus...and personally I don't give a frick if its legal or not; it is a matter of respect to those who bought the original game throughout the world and have continued to play it even today...is this CA's respect...I wonder.

Anyway...Grizz...find me on ICQ.

If rights to the demo are the rub, the issue then is with PCGamer, not the publisher/devs who otherwise want everyone to have it.

If PCGamer UK has exclusive rights for now (for which they may have paid), PCGamer US will likely get it for the August issue (July is out now) at the earliest in which case permission to host the demo could be quite away off.

As I stated before, if we ( collectively ) utilize KaZaa the demo would spread relatively quickly and bandwidth would not be a problem.

Could someone send me the demo and I will start. I have access to a variety of terminals and could host more than one connection.

What I said had nothing to do about how I feel about it. It was just a well meant warning. There have been cases where people who were spreading stuff that was not legal were kicked out by their internet provider. Many providers have a policy to stop illegal spreading of files.

So yes, Kazaa is a much safer option.

running into some problems with kazaa, even with a zip file.... so, if anyone has the time, open kazaa and search everything for the title: medieval. let me know if you can see it
