really, i heard that theres a nocd crack but if u dont have a legal copy it doesnt work anyway. I also got told that 15,000 people signed up for the online service with illegal copies, they let them signup and play and now theyve blocked all there ip's and sent there details onto F.A.C.T, this will mean that any future releases from that company wont be playable even if bought legally, obviously theres a way round this but it makes thigns more difficult
