Does anyone know what protection SIMS 2 will use?

It seems to me that anyone who has a dodgy copy of a game either has it already cracked, or has the nocd on the pirate disc. Those asking for a NOCD (Like myself) have usually bought the game and want to back up their original, or play without the cd. It's a paradox that the crackers allow us to do this, but that's the way it is! Maybe GCW could employ a new system, and only forward the nocd to those who scan their receipt for said game, or show a digi photo of themselves with the game. I'm buying 'The Sims 2' on Friday, and would love to have a nocd/nodvd ready for when I get it. I know it's been ripped off all over the place, but I've already pre-paid for my copy, and will continue to do so, as I believe developers should get paid for their hard work. The ONLY reason I'm happy it's cracked is because..1.It means STARFORCE3 is not used, which I find a REAL pain, and 2.Hopefully we should see a nocd/nodvd for this title. Besides, with a pirate copy you don't know if the game works properly, and you don't get any instructions. It's much better to own a shiny new original of any game. I find it strange that a previous poster said they downloaded SIMS2 but hadn't got a nocd fix for it. I'm against this of course, but Does this mean none of the WAREZ versions are playable until someone makes a fix? Never having dealt with ripped software I'm not familiar with the system, and am obviously weary of talking about such things on this site. I just assumed Warez rips came with a nocd crack. Is this not the case?
