Update: Good news, thanks to amazing work of The Crew Unlimited team the game is now playable again in single player!
Yep, you can't play this game officially anymore. Not even offline. Absolutely unnecessary practice that is becoming too common. However, fans are working relentlessly to bring it back despite Ubisoft efforts.
And remember to leave a negative review when you buy a game that doesn't allow self-hosting. Don't beat yourself over giving them money, the impact of the review makes up for it well.

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright.
This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
France has "a slightly higher threshold of originality in general, and particularly so in the context of photographic works". A decision from the French Supreme Court (Cour de Cassation) in October 2011 agreed with the appeals court decision saying that a quite artistic picture of two fish on a yellow plate about a traditional Marseille meal could not be protected by French law because of a lack of originality. According to this decision, the level of originality required by this appeals court is very high. See COM:CRT/France#Threshold of originality for more information.
