Sorry but it's forbidden to give it to family members also.
BUT you can use it for yourself and then i would try it on megagames.com
For all who say it's illegal to post this link:
read the Law.
You may give links to illegal content and can not get imprisoned.
And also when you own the CD you may install these NO CD Patches.
At least in Germany it's allowed. But this will not help you i think.
But this topic is not related to the topic of this forum. So please move it.

sry i wasnt sure were to put it

"not sure where to put it"

ok...thats just, not right....this is COMPLETELY illegal...its called "cracking the software". I am surprised that no moderator has closed this thread.

I live on the outskirts of the Sirius Sector near a Nomad Nebula...Planet Crete, Omicron Gamma.

I do have the No CD "patch" for the game, but I can't remember the exact name of the site. I know it was something like www.playground.ru and it was a Russian site, but that is not the exact address. Sorry... On the other hand, I found the site by doing a Yahoo search!

Btw, the site I went to was partly in Russian, but you should be able to tell where the d/l is. The "patch" I have has no negative effects on the game, it lets you use FLMM with the game, it doesn't turn the text in the game into Russian (), and there's nothing complicated about it. You just unzip one or two files and replace the original FL exe with the one from the unzipped archive.

Hope the helps...and I hope the thread doesn't get closed for this!

This is but a taste of the Dark Side.

Not sure what the laws are in other countries, but my understanding in Canada is that when you purchase software, you are allowed to have one, and only one copy of that software on any given PC at any given time. IE, if you purchased, oh let's say, Freelancer, and you wanted to, oh I don't know, lend it to your brother in Iraq, you would be legally responsible to completely remove the copy the exists on your hard drive. If you wanted to play it again, you would have to retrieve the CD from your brother, ensure that he completely removes it from his harddrive, and then reinstall on your hard drive.

What's my point? My point is that even though you say it's a "legitimate" situation ("I own the game! I just lent it to my brother!), you are still requesting assistance in an illegal activity. If you installed a no-cd patch in order to play the game, this would mean there are now two copies of Freelancer running, one on your PC and one on your brother's. But you only purchased one copy.

Ergo, there should exist no legal situation where a no-cd patch is required. If you lose the game or lend it away, that's your problem. The rest of real life doesn't have "no-cd" patches. Could you imagine:

"Excuse me Mr. Gas-Station-Attendant, but I lent my wallet to my brother in Iraq and I need to buy some gas for my car here. Since it really is MY car, can I just fill up for free using the no-money feature?"

"Excuse me Mr. Locksmith, but I lost my house keys. Clearly, you can see that this is MY house. So could you kindly replace my house keys for free. Thank you."

In real life, when you lose something or lend it away, it's your problem. If you need to replace it, you have to pay for it.

My 2 cents.

Next time you see threads that you think need locking, email one of us mods. We'll keep you anonymous.

And back on topic: sorry, it is illegal to give your cd to even a brother. And posting the link might not be illegal in Germany, but this site is Denmark-based, and I'm pretty sure the owner of this site disagrees with this thread. So, click!
