I'm sorry to disagree but I also had EXACTLY the same problem with
SimCity's copy scheme.  It turns out that the scheme fails on a Radius
accelerated mac. They acknowledge the problem and offer no fix.
As you can imagine I was severely bummed too!

So: Take of your boot and apply it to your mouth and then when your
face stops being quite so red, maybe you could apologise to the net 
for being and arrogant overbearing a*****e!

Wow, now I feel better!
