I think they should just ditch the thing in the next Swedish patch. In fact, I demand it! There won't be any rampant piracy of the Scandinavian language versions anyway. Frankly it's the cheesiest and most unstable copy protection scheme I've ever seen.
1) It takes ages for it to detect the CD.
2) You (at least I) have to eject and reinsert the CD or reboot if you want to start the game a second time.

4) It displays an ugly, cheesy little logo saying 'DemoShield' or some such.
5) It might make the game itself unstable, although that is not a certainty.
