PC version's DRM beaten
Before most stores even have the new Ubisoft titles, a hacking group has already beaten the DRM on Silent Hunter 5. This is the same DRM that will be used for Assassin's Creed II for PC.
Excellent news! Even though I'm buying the PC version (already bought the PS3 and 360 versions), I will still be using said cracks to avoid having a disc in my tray and a constant connection to Ubisoft. I don't support piracy, but I also don't condone such over-the-top anti-piracy tactics that hurt the legitimate consumer more than the pirates it's meant to stop.
Frankly, I'm glad it was beaten. I don't believe in what they are doing with these PC titles.
They should do like like they did for Arkham Asylum, getting something indispensable fomr the game from you.

I'm using a crack for my retail copy and I've had no such problems. 
what's a DRM?
Digital Rights Management. Copy protection or 'anti-piracy', basically.
I read the following in the latest issue of Gameinformer. It's part of their annual April Fool's section but it's funny as hell. Enjoy
DRM With A Human TouchThe gaming community has made no secret of it's dislike of digital rights managment (DRM), which often limits the number of times owners can install games or requires them to be connected to the internet in order to play. Ubisoft recently struck a blow to these draconian tactics with the announcement of it's new DRM strategedy: the Ubi-Buddy.
The plan is simple: With each Ubisoft game you buy, you'll recieve a fully grown Ubisoft employee responsible for escorting you home and supervising your playtime. While your Ubi-Buddy comes at no extra charge, you must provide them with food and unsupervised access to a restroom. Gamers will also be held responsible for lost or stolen Ubi-Buddies.
By silently standing by to ensure you aren't doing anything illegal, the Ubi-Buddy eliminates the need to install additional intrusive software. When you're done with your session, you can mail the employee back in a pre-paid styrofoam container. If you want to start playing the game again, simply submit your request to Ubisoft and wait four to six weeks for your next Ubi-Buddy to arrive.
What an invention...
A fully grown Ubi-Buddy! 
so it hasn't been cracked yet has it?

I haven't checked recently. I've been too busy playing Final Fantasy XIII lately to care about any other games.
