Incidentally, how would his friend's CD key be revoked? It's not like the game knows who is using it.

Didn't DOMII check with a Shrapnel server over the Internet for "bad" keys?

The question then might be how is "bad" key determined.

Same key from different IPs? That might cause trouble for those with dynamic IPs, no?

Re: Bug: Blank Map

We will not be discussing in public the mechanics of how keys get busted. I will say that it is a seperate issue than the in-game key errors happening to hosts at the moment.

Okay.

Is he necessarily a pirate?

If he had his own key, he wouldn't be using his friend's key to bypass the copy protection. Since you can't have the game on computers owned by different people at the same time (it's not a one computer license, but it IS a one owner at a time license), then the game would have had to have been given to him and therefore the game would be HIS not his friends, which he readily admits. Look, he's brand new to the board and these are his ownly two posts and he gave as minimal info as he had to in signing up for the board. Look, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck; than it's a duck.

As I posted earlier, if someone is having a problem and has a legitimate key, then they should contact customer support. Otherwise, I have to assume that when you say you use your friend's key to bypass copy protection that you are pirating the game.

Case closed.
