What´s the point of the new copy protection?

[Nick_K]

Is this the bug where the map stays present, but the controls etc vanish so nothing can actually be done? I've had that a couple of times despite playing with a legitimate copy... if this is supposed to be 'copy protection' then it's not very good for two reasons:
- Firstly, as I said, I had it a few times
- secondly, quitting and restarting the program fixes the problem, so as bugs go, it's not that much hassle.


Of course, you could be talking about something else entirely... Have you official confirmation that this is intentional? I've seen several forums accept the 'fact' that a recent, quite serious, bug in Football Manager 2007 was put in by the developers to affect pirated games, despite this not being at all true and the bug also affecting legitimate users. This sort of rumour can be quite nasty if a user asks for help about the bug and gets flamed as a 'pirate'.
