Torrents
Hosting a server on Gamespy and disabling it's serial validation by patching the FDS (or better creating a WOL clone) would mean that players do not require a serial to play.
You could then totally flood the torrent scene with the ISO's of the discs, and provide a valid serial for installation.

The torrent gamers love a free a game, and it's pretty much gauranteed to be free to play forever that way. Especially if someone had a WOL clone and the torrent version was cracked to join there automatically).

However, this would split the community (existing clients would not likely move to the the servers hosted on the WOL clone).

I've said this before. TT could whip it together in like 30 seconds (normal) time ... 3.5 years their time.

It doesn't even have to be that complex. First off you bundle the install disk, patch, cp's, rg, rr, scripts, portal, HUDs, skins, ts, reborn, mirc, porn, apb, tt and what ever the hell else you can think of into one clean install. Then you take 30 seconds to write an app that scans xwis for available servers and lets you select which one to direct connect to. Throw a little unique identifier in there to prevent abuse and you're golden. Servers that don't want to participate could block direct connect or block that unique identifier.

Even if EA gave a shit there isn't anything they could do about it. Even if they tell TT to stop once it is out there it is out there.

*I know it isn't really that easy but you get the idea.
