Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
For instance, as an Aussie it is perfectly legal for me to use certain things that someone else legally cannot.
I just wonder: Is it legal for You, because You are an Aussie, or is it legal for You, because You are in Australia ? What if You took Your laptop (theoretically) full of "modified" (in the sense of this thread of course) installations to another country ? I think law is bound to location, not nationality of a person, right ? I mean a dutch person cant smoke weed here in Germany (legally) either...
yes, you are totally right Dale. I agree. Poly decides if it is allowed to smoke in her house, because it is her house. but still, I think we should be allowed to talk, in her house, about smoking, and let eachother know if it is a good idea to start smoking...
sorry, but it is just a dutch trait I think. we tend to question everything that has to do with policies. nice new trait for a next CIV version!
disobediant: get a -1 relation with the other civ, but a 50% less chance of being attacked by that civ (because the civ regards you as a non-dangerous, bigmouth, not worth it to be attacked)
I think if, for example, an Aussie was using no CD cracks for something in OZ on a laptop, and went to the US, where No CD cracks would be illegal, the US would be shooting itself in the foot; You can't take CDs onto a plane with you (or shouldn't be) because they are easily snapped and the edge of a snapped CD is incredably sharp, and can easily be used as a weapon...
You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.
hmm, krill, you are stronger than me, apparently - i dont find it easy to snap a CD at all. I stand there, with my head turned, my eyes half closed, holding the CD as far away from me as i can, clench my teeth, doing "nnnngggghhh"-sounds and snorts and all it does is bend a bit...
But in fact, i did bring CDs to the states once - but i had checked them in... on arrival, i actually had my luggage searched (they pulled me out, cause i had returned after merely two weeks, without a return-ticket on me - after having been in the states for half a year - gosh i almost crapped my pants in that office - this guys dont know no fun, and it was me, who just stood in line for two hours, after a 9 hour flight - and i did miss my connecting flight).
Right now, i´d advise ANYBODY just to not go to the states at all unless you really have to, cause the authorities treat you like s***, you stand in line forever under gigantic flags and are suspected to be a criminal right away and you are being treated that way - they say it´s the land of the free, but you feel like you are going to prison, having to give fingerprints and a biometric foto being made - couldnt have been worse in Tempelhof (Berlin) in 1936 or so... - US-citizens get through right away tho... it´s rediculous - or rather erie... the arrival in america gives most germans goose-bumps of the worst kind these days... (this was in denver 2006)
I work as a care worker; snapped CDs are one of the most common methods of creating a weapon for either self harm or to attack staff. I've never snapped a CD before in my life...

As an American, and a student of history, I have to agree that the parallels between Homeland Security and the early days of the SS/Gestopo are downright scary. Our crackdown on freedoms in this country is just overkill. Ben Franklin once said 'Anyone who is willing to forgo personal freedom for a little security will soon find they have none."
What we need is stricter enforcement of current laws rather and punishing the guilty rather than persecuting the innocent.

Yeah it´s like, when i had to fill out these little green cards with all those ´funny´ questions and came to the one asking, if i was a member of the nazi-regime (yes / no - and it even says if you check "yes" you should report to ground staff immediately), i felt tempted to scribble to the side "are you ? think about it"...
See? If this thread had been immediately locked or deleted it couldn't have evolved into this interesting discussion of how the US is giving up it's liberty.

You're a terrible history student. Typically, history students in university consume large amounts of marijuana and end up working at 711's, so this does not bode well.

Is this a thread on no cd hacks? Out with the crazy germans complaining about large flags in airport terminals.
I think if, for example, an Aussie was using no CD cracks for something in OZ on a laptop, and went to the US, where No CD cracks would be illegal, the US would be shooting itself in the foot; You can't take CDs onto a plane with you (or shouldn't be) because they are easily snapped and the edge of a snapped CD is incredably sharp, and can easily be used as a weapon...
It doesn't matter if you bring a knife on an airplane, you aren't getting anything done with it these days. And I don't think the cracks for legitimate users are illegal here. Can anyone point me to an instance where the DMCA was used to prosecute someone who legitimately owns a game/software for using a no-cd crack? The answer is no, and if you read the first provision of the act you'll figure out why.
