Comment (by lotharsm):

 First, I want to emphasize that we have a strict anti-piracy rule, so this
 will be my last comment regarding this.

 You can't compare the detection from 2.6.1 with the current one - the old
 mechanism would basically accept anything that resembles Broken Sword
 datafiles.

 The new detection mechanism is far more sophisticated and only accepts
 truly valid entries. You are claiming that the copy you have is a copy
 from the original CD, but we have no way to verify this - it still could
 be modified.

 We will only accept detection entries for versions that we _know_ are from
 legitimate sources, e.g. copies from an original CD (that you physically
 own).
