Bizzarely, Ubisoft seems to have been caught distributing a 'no-CD' crack produced by a pirate group for one of its own games.A user named Twingo on the site Fileforums.com pointed users in the direction of a crack made available by Ubisoft for the PC game Rainbow Six Vegas 2.

This was meant to help users around problems experienced by the copy protection problems caused by the Direct2drive download service. The file has since been removed, but not before many users confirmed that the download was in fact a no-CD crack distributed by pirate group 'Reloaded'.

The 'UK Community Manager' of Ubisoft attempted to address the issue by stating: "We're looking into this further as this was not the UK Support team that posted this, however if it is an executable that does not need the disc I doubt it has come from an external source."
