    or connect to a US proxy server, which will fool Ubisoft to think that you actually live in the US (based on your IP address)

    Why does the game require you to be in america?

    Assuming the downloaded copy was legitimate, you may have to read the instructions on Ubisoft's website on how to activate your game. If you're running Vista you might run into problems as well.

    I did the same thing, downloaded, installed, signed up to Ubi.com as in the UK then as told I couldn't play.
    So I went back into Ubi.com changed my profile to say I lived in the US and tried installing again.. which worked a treat.
    They obviously aren't trying very hard to stop people downloading it outside of the US :)
