Not withstanding the provisions of section 106, it is not an infringement for the owner of a copy of a computer program to make or authorize the making of another copy or adaptation of that computer program provided: (a) Making of Additional Copy or Adaptation by Owner of Copy. Limitations on exclusive rights: Computer programs In most countries its entirely legal to circumvent the cd. I have to agree on this one, it's one thing to pirate and another to remove the cd restriction. So obviously replacing that game.exe downgraded your game version again.īy the way, I'm fairly sure that making a no-cd Emperor requires you to copy a bunch of files from the CDs to your hard disk, and mess with some settings text files to tell the game to read the videos from your hard disk rather than asking for a CD. You can usually see this from the file size of the involved files. The other one (emperor.exe) is just a small tool launching the game.exe. It's way handier to play games without needing to insert the disk, especially if it's not necessary.įeyd-Rautha: Only one of these (game.exe) is the actual game executable. it's a full hard disk install anyway and only needed the DVD to check if I own the game.

They're usually just a matter of offering the comfort of full hard disk installs. MrFlibble, no-cd systems are hardly piracy-related nowadays.
