Bypassing the protection is illegal. Correct? Again, lets assume you agree.

Since you have bypassed the protection, you have broken the law, because it states you may not bypasss protection. Correct? Its up to you to agree or not.

If the game is giving you an error, then you shoud contact technical support. Correct? I think so.

So, if this game is giving you problems with playing while you have legal software installed, and you are a 100% legal customer, this means that you have a technical difficulty that the publisher should resolve for you.

Now, lets assume that you dont feel like wasting the time and money on your phone bill to contact a publisher on the other side of the globe. You can visit this forum, and ask for guidance.
This guidance will involve bypassing the protection, therefore illegal, as said above. However you get what you payed for, and no one is harmed.

But dont ever mistake your actions as legal. They arent. If they want to sue your ass off, and they have good lawyers, you are screwed.

What I am trying to say is, your method is not legal, but it gets the job done, and it doesnt harm anyone, so no one cares, and there is a next to zero chance you will be sued.

But do not be under the false illusion that it is legal. It isnt.

1.like i said i didn't create the program i just simply compiled it (its also for private use not public thats why i don't give it out very easy)
2. it modifys your registry and that has nothing to do with the game at all since millions of programs write/read/modify the registry its not my fault they have buggy protection that conflicts with a registry entry seems like its their fault the protection doesn't work correctly (how would i know it breaks their protection?) .
3.Blacklisting software thats not illegal in anyway just because the publisher thinks a user "might" copy or play without a cd is infact a violation of a law somewhere, think what would happen if microsoft blacklisted firefox or some other program because it could do windows update or they just assumed it did bad they would get their asses sued (think this already happened in the past).
4. the game doesnt give me any problems what so ever and i am active on the fear forums helping in whatever way i can, I happen to pay alot for my cd /dvd drives and like to keep my hardware in pristen condition and whileat it have less lag caused from spinups and spindowns / other programs accessing my drive this is really the only reason i like to play with no cd (also to keep original in perfect condition) i would assume you are here for the same reason if not why are you here on this forum?

so if you think that modifying the systems registry just "happens" to break their protection checks and would hold up in court your very wrong.

just them blacklisting legit software is a crime itself, I can't wait untill daemon tools becomes commercial ware i wonder if the protection companys would even touch it

Ok, if its a registry modifying program then, nothing special...

As for the thing where publishers are breaking the law, they can do whatever they want. They have the money. If you wanna sue them, go ahead. Howeer, they can sue you, if your either guilty or not guilty IF THEY WANT TOO. So dont give them a reason to want to do that.

Im here on this forum to help, like you

And anything can hold up in court if they have the money on their side.

You'll be surprised, thats what I think. The protection companies can do what they want, because there is no one opposing them. And like I said, they have the money, and the backing of publishers, who have even more money.

And as for the MS things, where it blacklists Firefox, I think they can do that, they just have to say in the EULA:

By using this OS you agree not to install any mozilla products... bla bla bla

And they can get away with it. I think

Point is, they can do what they want. May your intentions be legal or illegal, all they have to do is make up a ton of BS and you're screwed.

But look on the bright side, the only people they really sue are the guys making the cracks, not people like us.

All I see from that Japanese guy now is Blah Blah Blah..

I am always use the game's builded update feature if allowed. Nearly 100%
sure and not any problems with the original. Also if has some bugfixes what
you get in the game when you playing? Really need the update patch I guess
So, one more thing: sometimes the updated game's saves INCOMPATIBLE
with the older version(s). If you want to play to the END of the game, you
sure make the update patch 1ST (e.g. Dungeon Siege 2 etc.). I see 1st the
SAVE compatibility on the update features, next the bugfixes.
(e.g. when I played CHASER I make MUCH of the patches of the bugs in
my PC, etc. etc.).
I tried the F.E.A.R. MaxiMini-Image with v1.02 update on DaemonTools 4.00
and WORKS PERFECTLY. NO FREEZES or any problems i don't have yet.
AND ofcourse I put back my ORIGINAL DVD to the Box.... For a while??

Where can i get this?

[lollerrofl]

the 1.02 crack is out check gcw

[BarryB]

Yep, EMPORiO to the rescue

Just reinstalled my game (I finished it with the 1.01 patch) and updated to 1.02 and used the crack, works fine for me. Played three levels and no problems, saved games load back too. Not going to play through it again to make sure, finished it once and it's not really worth replaying.

Can't be arsed with MP so not worried if that don't work, but SP seems fine!
