SkidRow has apprantly cracked the need for the always on internet connection to be present that comes in Ubisoft games, someone at Ubisoft must have really p*ssed off SkidRow this is the 3rd attack on the company from 1 group in a short space of time, a tad unusual maybe?  I myself am not sure the always on pay as you go world is a good idea everything from mobile phone apps to digital set boxs demanding a connection before they work and someone reaping in the £/$ on it... I think the days of buying something and using it as you want when you want where you want are gone and the days of keep paying us to use it are here.

Random Ubisoft logo pulled from Google :

"Hackers have overcome Ubisoft's controversial DRM system that relied on constant connection to the internet for games to function.

A crack for Ubisoft’s anti-piracy system published by a group called Skid Row allows gamers to circumvent the controls for games such as Assassin's Creed II. A message from the group on a gamers' forum sets out the group's agenda: allowing legitimate copies of PC games to be played without an internet connection, rather than facilitating piracy. Skid Row cheekily thanks Ubisoft for posing an interesting intellectual challenge :

"Thank you Ubisoft, this was quiete a challenge for us, but nothing stops the leading force from doing what we do. Next time focus on the game and not on the DRM. It was probably horrible for all legit users. We just make their lifes easier. This release is an accomplishment of weeks of investigating, experimenting, testing and lots of hard work. We know that there is a server emulator out in the open, which makes the game playable, but when you look at our cracked content, you will know that it can't be compared to that. Our work does not construct any program deviation or any kind of host file paradox solutions. Install game and copy the cracked content, it's that simple."
