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 ?
