True, but cdkeys reported to be pirated can be put on black list (Gal Civ, or windows XP). When several Users ask for the same patch, dozen of time, it is safe to think that something is amiss with this cdkey.

I think it is working like this:
Someone with a valid cdkey is downloading the updates, and hes putting it up to the net.
He cannot be found or reported of course.

False. The updates which can be found are the major patches, which are delivered with a cd key, right, but are downloadable and archivable. The incremental patches, which are installed progressively as you download them, are surely not found on the internet.
Major patches are made by Gal Civ to allow Users to archives them and reuse them as they wish, with the big drawback that they are pirated.

You are very wrong again. All of the Galciv patches can be found on the net. Propably someone using the method what Ive mentioned above.



As I said protections are useless, and the cd-key to download method as well.
Someone will get those updates and put it up to the net. 100%.
Cd-Keys are only helpful in multiplayer, and only on the net. on LAN you can ALWAYS play with warez cd-keys as well.
