Nascar 2002's Copy Protection

Hello, Is it possible for my brother and I to play online at the same time? We only have one CD-Key and so we're denied access. I've looked at the end user license and there does not appear to be a clause which specifically forbids this activity. Any ideas? -- Joseph Birr-Pixton

Do what I did, buy your brother a copy :) Now when we go online we work as team-mates and I *know* (9 times out of 10) I can trust my draft partner not to try pushing me out of the way on the penultimate lap *grin* Vennt. "jbp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Haha, I already bought one copy so he'll be buying the next! ;) >Now when we go online we work as team-mates and I *know* (9 times out of 10) >I can trust my draft partner not to try pushing me out of the way on the >penultimate lap *grin* My brother seems to delight in destroying my car at every opportunity! -- Joseph Birr-Pixton

In practice I don't know as I've not tried it...yet !

Works fine. Lasts a long time. "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
