RE: won id sharing..

It really doesn't matter what you do (or more accurately do *not*) think about it.  It is NOT acceptable to install and use one copy of HL on multiple computers at the same time.  Doing so violates the user agreement you agreed to when you opened the box and installed the software.  You bought ONE copy like what, 3 years ago?  And you're bitching because you can't pirate it out to your family?  Go buy another copy of the retail CS or the basic HL and be done with it.  It's not like you'll have to put it on lay-away...   Eric (the Deacon remix) http://www.firekite.com   -----Original Message----- From: Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 3:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: won id sharing.. What so your saying,  just for me and my nephew to play halflife we should buy another copy?    and you say im a software pirate because i took my READ  " BOUGHT " halflife copy that i got when IT FIRST CAME OUT ALL THOSE YEARS AGO  and installed it on my nephews pc which is literally 30 centre metres from my pc on my desk, then i proceeded to use MY BOUGHT CD KEY to allow me and him to play ONLINE..   i dont see any problem with what we WERE doing..  its my cd key.. i payed for it.. and why shouldnt i be able to share it with my own blood and kin? i totally disagree with your attitudes towards this, but one thing you have got right.. im going to have to go and buy another copy of halflife just so he can continue playing with me  ..  sigh.     QUESTION:  does the stand alone retail counter strike come with a cd key?  it must do surely i know its a silly question, im just checking..     Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: Ryan McCullough To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 7:29 PM Subject: RE: won id sharing.. So you don't like the fact that you haveto spend $29.99 for another cdkey? or did they also turn back on the one IP at a time thing as well? If its the first, buy another key. If its the second, I guess we are all SOL. -----Original Message----- From: Dan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 11:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: won id sharing.. looks like valve has re implemented banning (no sharing) of cd keys.. damnit i hate it when you do this..  me and my nephew have both our pc's connected to my cable modem connection so we can both play, and now look what happens.  they re enable this (excuse my language)  B*LL SH*T!!!   this is seriously annoying...   regards Dan   +  A seriously pi**ed off nephew
