Beware of BioWare!

erm i actually do know what im talking about, i've reversed crypto crap before.. it has to be plain at one part (the start), backtracking buffers, breakpoint on memory access, you will find it... so i suggest you actually learn about what you're talking about and don't assume people reading this don't know more than you... they do...

all it takes is 1 person with the skill to see what gets sent and then it'll be all over the internet if its 'personal' data.. i've yet to see such a claim related to ANY protection used on games...

you cite 10 years ago.. you're living in the dark ages, things matured since then, laws came into play... (some laws that im only too aware of..)...

the protection companies benefit from reducing piracy.. i suggest you take the blinkers off.. also you seem to think all of your ideas apply to the world, they do NOT, different countries, different laws... as for my job, frankly thats none of your business..

you have successfully hijacked the thread, spouted complete and utter nonsense, and are trying to deliberately get a rise out of me now (previously it was from dab...)

cracking encryption is not easy for most people, it is for those skilled in reversing and cryptology.. a field i am quite used to, having been working in it for ~20+ years...

as for 'plenty of online monitoring already'.. sure but we are talking about GAMES and the protections of those games... you keep changing the goal posts to make your points seem valid... as for plenty of online monitoring already... how about the fbi, cia, mi5, mi6 and various other organisations monitoring the internet.. u think they don't have access to your personal information?

so, to clarify, keep your arguments / points on track, on topic, and relative..
the subject is game activation... not bank cards, not malware, not google, and dont think you know everything, there are people out there (including myself) who know a hell of a lot more than you do, so if you don't know something dont cite nonsense.. do some research.. understand the subject...
then the thread might get interesting...

Ah, my humble apologies dear sir for having underestimated your expertise and wisdom on this topic. And thank you for enlightening this thread with well-worded posts including relevant links to back up every point.

I liked this comment Tippex made hope anymod don't if my coment fi too offtopic and I backit up

But I think people that think that know everything is people that know nothing. You learn from everything know about everything but never will know all in the whole. Not even the dorks from the MIT know all

I started using pc on the MS dos 4 dr-dos 5 days the win 3.0 to Vista also Linux distros (I hate windows) I started maybe before several young guys on this forums. On those days and I still live in the middle nowhere anc could use pc when lots of people on my school neighborhood didn't have any know anyone have a laptop no matter how petigious is their school or or if not even work to fix pc on 1995-97 those were really expensive compared with desktops or towers 9 (maybe on those year usa or the european countries didn't this prob but in my middle of nowhere country was) and note I was not rich and I still aint to this date when using my first pc at home

I could like veteran now but others started decades before me and even are more than 18 years since I used my first pc I am still learning even from new users with less posts than me
