help! authenticity probelm
   

first , i am not doing anything illegal.
i just want to burn gothic2 for my brother so he can play too,(i need the cds for myself) so i burned all 3 cds, took them with me to my brother's, but the installation gave me "authenticity check failed, please ensure that ..." something like that.
Is there a way to solve this problem? thanks!

I doubt we can help you with that. It looks like the copy protection works.

I tried copying from cd to cd to make a back up.
Nero wouldn't do it, so i had to burn to hard disk and then to cd.

I do this with most of games , just incase they ever get scratched or messed up or something (learned my lesson with Sea dogs, since it's 30 bucks USED now an di can't play it)

I get that too. I guess it's some kind of copy protection.
Which i think hurts the actual paying customer rather than oppose warez because it is already out in those kind of channels.


Just hope i don't end up breaking my gothic cds or scratching them bad, though i doubt i will since it's only happened once.

As you didnŽt understand the small hint in my post above IŽll explain it to you once and for all.
happysky9396 and ganesha, both of you received a warning. 5 warnings will get you banned automatically. You posted informations in the forum which might be useful for pirates. This is a strict taboo here! If I ever again see one of you post something only remotely in support of an illegal use of the game you will be banned immediately without another warning.

It's perfectly legal to make one backup for personal use for yourself.
it's illegal to distrubute it to other people or make said profit from that backup.

Doesn't make any difference.
