suddenly legal?
Very nice reasoning, and completely false of course.

And fair use says you may make a backup copy of your software, yet MS
sets up FS to prevent this. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I have
no sympathy for MS in this case either.

Making a backup is not piracy, or stealing. It is something to which
the purchaser is entitled according to "fair use". Unfortunately
companies like MS have made the decision that fair use only applies to
them.

The perversion of the DMCA is one aspect as to removing users rights.

Well I bought it and it would not install/run without the crack, and I
read
that this is true for a few others. It's a bit late to be too moralistic
now
as cracks for ALL pc and Mac games have been available on the web for
years
now.

The license expressly forbids using them.

Hallo!
I've just bought FS2004 and I'm wondering if someone has a crack, so
I don't have to use my CDs to fly the FS...
