I'm not pro piracy, just for the record, just not anti it.

And yeah, it's very different out here. In China almost everything is 'pirated' from PC games to watches to clothing to medicine. Of course people can get the real stuff too, but the price tag is hard to stomach for most.

Gandalf: There are a huge number of games that work just fine with pirated serial codes. It's not worth me listing them. CD keys and codes also don't tend to get auto-revoked if two different computers are detected to be using them. Since we can't discuss exactly how the key revoking works and you and Edi advised someone in another thread that if they used a friends CD key it would be trashed,... well to me that seems to be much harder on casual game sharing than 90% of games out there. Lending a friend your game and CD key for them to play single player is piracy, but it's not the sort of thing that other games trash the CD key and bug the entire game over.

Why did you even mention LAN play if it's likely to get your CD key revoked?

This is making me wary of putting dom3 on another computer that I own, even if I uninstalled it on this one. What's to stop this automatic protection (which I know nothing about) deciding I'm a pirate and nuking my key because it remembered a different IP address or physical location?
