copy right question
 

I am moving from CT to AZ tomorow and will be driving. I am involved in a few multiplay games and I am hoping to get my turns in when I stop to rest at a motel with internet. My roomate who is staying in CT has volunteered to put my turns in for me if I am going to miss a turn. He does not have a copy of the game. Will it be ok to put my copy of dom3 on his computer and for him to put my turns in while I am making the drive?

You bought ownership for one copy of the game. If you give the game to your friend, that's your decision, and you should be on the safe side legally if you delete any installations of the game that you have yourself.

Which he obviously was not planning on doing, since he was going to play from motels with internet.
That would violate copyright laws.

Practically speaking, I doubt anyone will care as long as your roommate deletes it after your trip.

The closest thing I can find to an answer from the publisher is this bit from Mindi:

"I'm not going to debate copy protection and piracy here. All I will say, is for those of you who think Dom's copy protection is so much more intrusive or strict than other games, you obviously haven't played many games. We actually have a better policy than a lot of games out there (for ex. in general our games are a one player at a time license, not a one computer at a time license), but yes, if you and another person (no matter who it is, spouse or not) want to play simultaneously, then you need to buy two copies."

Is that enough data to answer the question? What you plan on doing sounds like one-computer-at-a-time, not simultaneous play.

Thanks Max. That answers my question. And I remember reading that now that you have brought it back up. So, as long as we are not playing simultaniously, I am fine.
