M2TW. You need the disk?

I installed this but want to play without the disk and it won't let me. Anything I can do or is it made like this...I thought all new games could be played without the disk. Any help would be appreciated.

How come? I thought games today could be played without the disk...I can play CoH perfectly fine without it.

A crack by itself isn't illegal , for example like this . You've bought the game but want to play without the cd? download a crack.dannenissan2

swapping cd is annoying I dont understand why we still have to put our cd in for game we installed on our HDFr0st3d

Yes, different patch for every game and game version. So, if an update comes out you have to put the original non-cracked exe back (always backup), run the update and get/wait for a no-cd crack for that. I don't think I can post a website on it without breaking some rule here. This was the clearest answer I could find on the legality.

Downloading a CD crack is de facto illegal, as you're modifying the software you are licensing. That's the key - you don't actually 'own' any of the games sitting on your shelf, you have a license to play them. That's what the L in EULA stands for. Unless it's spelled out in the EULA that you may crack the game (a few EULA's allow the user to make modifications to the software, to encourage game mods) you're breaking the law when you do it. That being said, not even an RIAA-style crackdown on game pirates will waste their time with pursuing someone cracking a game they purchased legitimately.
