In my infinite knowledge, I ran the game and got caught. Said my CD key was invalid. This is a legitimate copy of the game, FYI. I figured it caught the crack, banned the key, pissed me off.
I go buy another copy today. Install it with its new key, and it STILL says my key is invalid. Does this ban go out to the profile as well? I figure it saw the profile which was banned from the other key and it bans my new one too. I tried making a new profile and running Special Forces(which hasn't been run yet at the time). INVALID.
If I buy another copy, thus putting this game at $90 dollars, run it fresh with a new key and new profile, should it run? Or is my PC/IP entirely banned forever? I'm starting to think they banned my lappy entirely from the get go.
I'd greatly appreciate some guidance. If this isn't ever going to work for me.. giving up now before I drop some more money.

Only time it would have said cd-key invalid is if its been used by others, in your attempts to play without the cd you may have picked up a keylogger in a file and someone has gotten it.
Proof of purchase like said is a good as it proves its yours etc.
