Well, they did put a different copy protection on. That's why Europeans can't play 1.14. There are multiple complaints in multiple threads about this. It will only work with a no-CD crack, which is of course illegal (and so is selling a product that doesn't work, IMO)

ssssst, Ming is listening!
quick, remove the forbidden words!
people might do a google search and find the highly forbidden fixing software, and get a working product they paid for which would be a shame!

I'll play devil's advocate on this. While I personally have gripes with the whole EULA system, read your EULA. They didn't 'sell' you anything. They gave you a limited license to 'use' their software. They also said that if it doesn't work as described in the documentation send it back to Infogrames for a full refund.
