AAARGHGGHH!!! I've lost my VI CD

[Deus Ex]

The main reason (one of the mods will correct me if I am wrong) is that while YOUR intentions may be honorable. The information could (and VERY LIKELY WOULD) be used by other with less than honorable intentions.

Many people work very hard to make the game you are enjoying (I myself have been in the software business for 20 years, so this issue is near and dear to me).

EVERY TIME someone makes an illegal copy of a CD or uses a workaround to avoid buying a CD - you are taking money away from people who worked hard for it.

Once again, while you might have the best of intentions, the policy of this message board is to not even go there.

I agree whole-heartedly with the policy of this board. I hope that helps explain it a bit.

PM me if you would like to chat about it further.
