@Ernesto:
By the way, guys, do you know that CD-Projekt was founded by Polish PIRATES which were cracking and distributing games in early 90s?
Marcin Iwi?ski – the founder and one of the bosses of CD-Project was cracking and selling pirated games as a member of warez group “Katharsis” under nickname of S.S. Capain.
He even gave his home address and phone number in demos playing before the pirated game runs:

So that people could order pirated games from him.

They would. That’s why You have different serials even on totally singleplayer games.Game sends serial, it’s being checked for multiple uses… bingo! They have list of Ip’s and timestamps of those copies. Now just locate users and send their claims…

I heavily doubt that but non german people will easily jump on your bandwagon I guess.

Stop being a child and claiming false facts, thank you very much.

CD Projekt can roll over and die for all I care, truly such companies are not welcome for the negative publicity they cause to an already crippled (no not by piracy but the global economy btw.) Video Games Industry.

“The only reason they stripped the game of DRM was because they were going to use it as a honey trap for pirates.”

See, I’m not sure that’s true. I believe them when they say that they don’t use DRM because it hurts their customers. Look at it from their point of view; DRM inevitably hurts their customers, they can’t dispute that. In addition, they don’t consider pirates to be among their customers, so they want a way to go after pirates that doesn’t affect their legitimate customers. From that point of view, a logical action would be to remove DRM, and try to go after pirates in some other way. To make this short, the removal of DRM could easily be separated from the pursuit of pirates.

You’re just assuming motives on their part when you claim to know why they did something, especially since you’re aren’t actually looking at it from their point of view.
