What annoys me bout race driver 2 crack

[lookie]

K just for the record I have bought the game. My problem is that the dvd is scratching. It is not my dvd player cause I put in a new msi dvdr and it is still continueing to scratch. This is the reason and the only reason why I am searching for a no-cd. My question however is do software companies (codemasters) still offer a replacement cd at a reduced cost if urs is damaged? I know they used to, all u had to do was send the cd along with a fee and some 2 mths later u would get a new copy back. It just seems to me that the only ppl who are getting screwed out of this starforce 3 thing are legitimate purchasers. I also bought gangland which I had install probs with, which I was informed was probably due to the copy protection ( starforce 3) being encrypted throught the game and not just in the exe/dll. Perhaps in future it may be a good idea for game designers to include a copy protected no-cd patch in there games so to avoid damage. Surely it can be done

The Starforce3 protection could easily only be implemented during install, and not require the cd to play. The problem then is: you can give the game to whoever you want, they install it and give you the cd back. This is why they check for the cd when you play, even though it's clear the game has been installed from a legitimate original.
