Yes, tonight, I logged into battle.net, and got an update, it took one second and guess what I found in the version history.txt?
Spoiler: click to toggle
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- patch 1.15.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature Changes
- StarCraft and StarCraft: BroodWar no longer require the CD while playing the
game. To play without the CD, please follow the following instructions:
- Windows Users:
- Make sure you have "Hide extensions for known types" unchecked under
Explorer Folder Options.
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft CD to
your StarCraft folder and rename it to "StarCraft.mpq".
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "INSTALL.EXE" from the StarCraft:
Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder and rename it to "BroodWar.mpq".
- Mac users:
- If you own only StarCraft, copy "StarCraft Archive" from the StarCraft CD
to your StarCraft folder.
- If you own StarCraft: Brood War, copy "Brood War Archive" from the
StarCraft: Brood War CD to your StarCraft folder.
Its great now I can listen to music on CDs while playing ^^

Yes easy to crack, but if caught you would be banned (temp, sometimes longer).

the thing I don't like about having the CD in is that I find that the CD/DVD drives are getting burnt out slowly. don't respond as fast as they used to.

That would be a great reason
, but you could buy a 250gb eternal HDD for around 100 USD (cheaper than it used to be, or just get a 250gb HDD for around 75 USD).
