The cracked exe worked. Thank you so much.
So basically they implemented some new copy protection device that is broken on some machines, even with the safedisk update? And I suppose that with the DMCA it is illegal for me to use the cracked exe, even if it's the only way I can use the software I legally purchased. I really, really hate these corporations.
Well, yes, technically under the DMCA, any circumvention of copy protection, whether you've bought the disk or not, is illegal. Heck, technically, even TALKING about it on this forum is illegal. Except that EA is back to giving out instructions on mounting the games because this isn't the first EP that's needed it, it's just the one that needs it for the most people. ::) Regardless, EA isn't going to go after people like us who've bought the game and are using the crack to run. Companies are generally more interested in the people doing the cracking in the first place and then the ones downloading the entire game, not just the exe.

No, no, no. I seem to remember that the DMCA only affects websites hosted in the US. MATY is hosted in Malaysia. And to those looking for a fixed exe:
Link.
Note that this is for an unpatched Seasons only, so you may need to reinstall Seasons to get it to work.

They would also never try it in court, as they would lose, which would open them up to a whole lot of crap they don't want to deal with.

Why would they lose?

Because they are attempting to prevent people from using a product they have bought and legally own. Copy protection itself is very iffy, legally, because of the problems it causes for consumers.
