Oh my God! Don't be concerned! I have the original and it is registered with Ubisoft. It comes on 2 DVDs (did I say CD? It's all round and flat to me). The person giving it to me is my better half and he legally purchased it as a Christmas present. This is my first game ever ad I love it and I am paranoid that it will break. That's all. I don't have to steal software, I can afford it.
Hope that eases your pain. If not, I'll take a picture of it (original box and all) tonight and email it to you!
