I dont know if this is warez sorry if it is. But just google the title with No CD. I use a no cd for COD4 because my roommate is a idiot and put a disk ontop of it in the drive and scratched it to all hell.

att. If this is considered warez can a mod simply delete it.

Don't think its illegal to use a no-cd crack if you own the original disc.

I was just being safe. A lot of people consider it a No CD Crack which basically I didnt feel like getting flamed or bitched at for my suggestion. I use them a lot but I also detest running anything from a disk.

Exactly, that's still not allowed. Read the EULA's of your games.

Not allowed? So when your CDs are scratched, you are forced to buy a new one. Nice.
I always thought its allowed if you legally own and bought the game/program on cd. Same with ISOs.

thats my thoughts but you own the right to use the media not the right to reproduce it well thats the case for music so im guessing its the same for this too

Of course not. When your CD is scratched you can get a free replacement. Just contact the store or distributor.
You can't modify your game in most cases, and you can't circumvent copy protection.

i like allot of people dissagree withit though you should be buying the actual item not the right to use it, you should be able to do what you want with it only when you try to re-distribute it should their be things done, obviously its very hard to trak when people distribute it though

Become a politician and change the law in your country. If other countries follow and it becomes something that's allowed in most countries we will allow discussion of it. Until then, no discussions of cracks, because that's what a no CD patch basically is.
