FS2004 CRACK

Hallo!
I've just bought FS2004 and I'm wondering if someone has a crack, so I don't
have to use my CDs to fly the FS...

if you bought it you need no crack...
The license expressly forbids using them.

You do if you don't want to put the CD in the drive every time you
start the game. Who cares what the license says? It is my game, I paid
for it, and I will use it however I want.

Some of us absolutely NEED the crack because that cockamamie
Safedisk[sic] protection[sic] scheme[OK, "scheme" is accurate] doesn't
work with many readers (such as my DVD writer, which is the only thing
I've got that reads CDs). I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I was
after installing this thing to have it fail to recognize my store-bought
sealed-in-tin CD4. Right about then I was ready to tell both you and Mr.
Gates EXACTLY what he could do with that disk. Matter of fact, I'm still
ready. Wanna hear it?

Also, ALL of us need the crack so we can be spared the indignity of
having to locate and insert the CD just so we can prove we aren't
crooks. Every day. Twice a day on weekends. And any decent (not
"descent") hacker can copy the damn disk anyway.

So just because software piracy has been around for years software piracy is
suddenly legal?
Very nice reasoning, and completely false of course.

Well I bought it and it would not install/run without the crack, and I
read
that this is true for a few others. It's a bit late to be too moralistic
now
as cracks for ALL pc and Mac games have been available on the web for
years
now.

And fair use says you may make a backup copy of your software, yet MS
sets up FS to prevent this. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I have
no sympathy for MS in this case either.

Making a backup is not piracy, or stealing. It is something to which
the purchaser is entitled according to "fair use". Unfortunately
companies like MS have made the decision that fair use only applies to
them.

The perversion of the DMCA is one aspect as to removing users rights.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but IMHO using a "no CD crack" for the
furtherance of legitimate use (i.e. archival copy) isn't a wrong at all.
Just because something's illegal, that doesn't necessarily make it wrong
(and vice a versa).

By the way, Microsoft was one of the last companies on the copy-protection
bandwagon, other than a brief flirtation with it in the 80's. It's been
standard practice in the games market, by ALL companies, for over a decade.
Not sure if you're singling out Microsoft or not, but if you are, they don't
deserve it. All of the software publishers are equally guilty of putting
their own interests ahead of their *legitimate* users.

The perversion of the DMCA is one aspect as to removing users rights.

Exactly. One of the most ridiculous provisions of the DMCA is to prohibit
ANY circumvention of copy protection, regardless of intent. I've yet to
read about a serious attempt to contest this in the courts, but IMHO if such
a case does come up and the DMCA isn't found to be unconstitutional at least
in that area, we can pretty much give up on our country ever being again
what the founders intended.

You get no argument from me.

As far as I'm concerned every one has the right to make a backup of
their soft ware. Fair use gave us that.

That the record, movie, and other industries were able to buy off
enough votes to pass such a travesty shows we have a long way to go
before digital media and corporations are willing to give back the
rights they have stolen from the users/public.

As I side comment...At my age, I don't buy much music, but... I wonder
if the record industry is really so dense that they don't realize a
lot of people are no longer buying their music because of their heavy
handed tactics and not because of piracy.

I don't argue that piracy exists, but I think a good portion of their
lost sales that they claim is piracy is in fact people aren't
stealing, they have just quite buying.

I did not claim it was legal, just that I have no compunction about using a
CD crack for any CD I have legally bought. It is the sort of law that bring
law into disrepute. Like jay walking and speeding and trespass, something we
have all done no doubt.
