Perhaps you failed to read, you can play your games, you just have to make sure no emulation programs are running just like I said.

And no its not invasion of privacy, they are protecting THEIR software. Its up to them the way the feel they wish to protect it.

The reason it checks for Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% etc is because these are known tools that help the warez people, so hence why it checks for these to hinder people from using images to run games they may not legally own.

That is why it isnt privacy intrusion or anything similar. At the end of the day, if it means to simple disable Daemon Tools etc to play a game then do it, its not that difficult once your done re-enable them.


Remember you made the choice to place those apps onto your system, if the game doesnt run when they are in the background, then thats not the games fault its protection is doing what it was designed to do, protect itself.


I suggest you look up the definition of spamming, cause you dont have a clue there either.

Virtual CD/DVD emulators can be used for purposes other than running pirated copies of software; e.g., running your legally owned software, or testing software you wrote yourself.

In Australia, Playstation modchips are now legal because they can be used for purposes other than pirated copies of software. This purpose is running software that has been bought in another part of the world (PAL vs NTSC; Europe vs USA vs Japan), and this purpose is the exact reason that the jury's decision was based upon.

By the way, region protection on DVD's is also an intrusion into your privacy as noone has the right to tell you where you wanna buy original DVD's (online shops; DVD's available in foreign countries only) and where you wanna play your legally owned DVD's (home PC; DVD player; friends; car; plane; train; any foreign country; friends in foreign country). I'm waiting for the day when some jury or authority states that it was completely illegal to do. (Haha, am I naive or what?)

[Edit:] By the way, FIFA, on a Sony Playstation Portable, you cannot install your own software because of "trusted computing" (guess who's on the trusted side, you or the big software/hardware companies!). There's a similar movement, called TCPA, for PC's, as well. Welcome to a Brave New World!
