Splinter Cell Chaos Theory No-Cd

The guy is also a moderator and its his job to make sure threads are 100% legit.


And yes he is right, if the EULA states you can make 1 copy of the disc then you are allowed to, if they say no, then you cant. Its amazing how many people think cause it doesnt say they are allowed means they can.

And only 1!

And GLH is right also, you bought a license to play the game on 1 machine. You do not own the game, Ubisoft do still own the game rights, as said you only bought the right to play it and own the media that you have, not the contents of the media.

you only bought the right to play it and own the media that you have, not the contents of the media.

My question is now:
If this is right what you say (and it is I guess) isn't CD2DVD making (whatever the activity itself is called) illegal too ?
You change the content, and you don't own the content, is this legal ?
I always thought that what I buy belongs to me but i think that's wrong, especially in case of games...
Please make this a little bit more clear for me, DABhand

DABhand has a good point of view. From now on lets talk about a different subject: the rights. Everything revolves around this subject. I make a game then when I sell it I decide the contract between the seller and the customer (which is absolutely normal). This is of course to defend the rights of the crew who created a software and also to defend the customer. But then with this criteria we fall down to a deeper subject. I could litteraly write everything inside the contract and when a user agree by pressing a button is almost like signing the contract. From this point of view the customer doesn't have any right. Coming back to GLH subject I can't even send it back to Ubisoft, because this should be done within a limited period of time. Meanwhile I was waiting at least for an answer from Ubisoft, maybe just to say that there is no solution to my problem. This did't happen even if the contract says that they should reply within 48 hours (this in Italy, where I bought the game). But then again inside the "Terms of use" they manage to put that: "UBI.COM MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ANY SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE". With just a click you have to agree otherwise you can't even become a Ubisoft Member and therefore you can't contact them to have any support.

Ending this story I pay 60€ for what? To buy a disk it doesn't even work and worst of all in case it was working I have to control my children that they are not going to destroy a DVD game, the only thing I did is to pay to own anything at all. Just a licence, which I signed... From now on no more signatures from me, I will still buy games that have small or no protection at all, so I will still continue to grow my small library with original software without worrying not to scratch a DVD that doesn't even belong to me...
Then, where are our rights ?

Not necessarily, since you arent amending the data (i.e. changing its coding) but yes on when you change the installer file (usually .msi).


Since most conversations can be straight copy and paste jobs, that isnt illegal as you havent amended the data that was on the other media.

However, like I said changing the installer file, whatever it may be, to install a game that multispans so it reads the same disc is illegal as you changed the data. But making your own installer file from scratch to install the game isnt, since its yours.

Weird but hey hum :P

This of course is an unproductive chit-chat here on this forum but I already have the legals of my company working on it. Like for Italy there are two laws for a contract to be valid: Either you SIGN a contract or you directly BUY a software that contains a contract. In these cases you are agreeing to whatever contract is written. This case can't be applied if you receive a gift from somebody.

This post was not for talking or chitchatting about EULA, but simply to ask a help to make an ORIGINAL DVD of SCCT to work since I still did't find the solution of my 1st problem: I launch SCCT as soon as the disk checking disappear nothing is happening! Help me at least to play this license I payed for!!!
