Copy right protection, like boonhet said. I played many computer games that I had to copy the instruction manual to play. Might and Magic 3 was like "what is the 4 word of the 11th line of page 8?" And if you don't get that right then you can't play. Civilization had similar prompts, but it let you play a little bit and just hurt your progress if you didn't answer their questions about the civilization skill tree.
