Media in drive
(Media check)
Requires the game media (CD, DVD, etc.) to remain in drive during play, either to stream content off it during play or to validate the player has a legit copy.
A common cause for creation of No-CD/DVD etc. cracks which are used even by legal owners of the games. The reasons usually boil down to the fact that people are lazy, but some consider it a good way to prolong the longevity of the original game media.

Originally this was not a copy-protection method, but means to avoid wasting the miniscule amounts of HD space people had. Later media checks started to appear as tests to combat piracy, around this time the media was no longer used for anything else as everything was installed to HD.
