But they're unspeakable which implies we can't be told about it, does that mean unspeakable things are perfectly typable or is there some sort of paradox happening?

What is the internet pretty much full of, if not unspeakable things?

Bring down the hammer of justice gog >:D .... and maybe shed some light on the situation for us :D

Well I'm here so thats one example...

Doubtful, I'd imagine that there'd be a notice on the packaging somewhere and it's unlikely that they'd leave the binary with the same icon and name.

Indeed. This is the kind of piracy the publishers should be prosecuting, instead of wasting their time and resources on new and inventive forms of DRM that don't actually work.

Fair enough, I just don't want to jump to conclusions. They obviously have a license to sell the game from Codemasters, so it's not completely unthinkable that they have been allowed to use the GOG-version.

How is that in any way obvious? Anybody can photoshop together an official-looking DVD cover, complete with corporate logos and such, but that doesn't mean they have any kind of permission to do anything.

That's 'All hail President High Priest Max!" to you!

They have been working with Codemasters (http://aralgame.com/content_files/html/aralgame/alt.gif), but selling the gog version isn't same thing I guess.

Probably they lost or broke the master copy (lol?) and found gog version to continue producing/selling it.

Not going to jump to conclusions but will only say that I hope those who should be paid for this are being paid. Who knows, maybe there is some legal reason that uses the GOG version as an intermediary to allow sales in that country.

We don't speak about you... d'oh!
I'm just going to assume those legal reasons are the same as why movie and music stores in Viet Nam time and again torrent what you're asking for and burn the disc as you wait. I.e. the legal reason being "the country has no laws against piracy".

This reminds me of a case a Ukrainian reader wrote about in the reader mail section of a Hungarian game magazine. They said they bought a "completely legal" game from a perfectly legit store in Ukraine, which consisted of
1)a pirated ISO of the game in question and
2)a cracked (!) version of Alcohol 120% to mount the ISO in.
The editor said that although he doesn't condone piracy, he suggests the reader just downloads the games he intends to acquire, instead of fueling the pirates who make a living of it.

I absolutely agree with this.

That's still piracy.
