Requiring the CD to play a game is a form of piracy protection... Bypassing piracy protection usually voids the EULA even if you own the game... so technically even if it is his game... He's most likely still violating the EULA and probably committing a crime depending on his location (bypassing copyrights is usually a crime in most places)... He's also asking to crack when you get to the purest form of the question and not even how to crack a system but how to crack a game... In essence he's selected the right forum if it was a legit question and could have worded it as a legit question... yet he didn't and once again he's asking how to do something that in most places would be a crime.... Had he asked how to protect his own games so that they'd require the CD that'd be a different story.

Peace,

I'll challenge you on that, let's e-mail a few game companies like Rockstart North, Microsoft/Bungie, and Blizzard (random companies off the top of my head) and let's see what they say. I'm pretty sure that once you own the game, you can do whatever you please with it. I know creating backups of it is legal so let's e-mail them and find out.. =)
