Yes, but the files can be used from the CD without using someone else's server. The virtual island and virtual gold cannot. It exists and can only exist as bytes on some game company's server farm.
They can't be taken anywhere else but the game. Because it cannot exist in the real world. You can actually burn MP3s to a CD and virtual becomes "real".
The only thing that's scarier to me than the existence of virtual sweatshops is the possibilty, remote though it may be, of the existence of a virtual Kathie Lee Gifford.
Yikes!
