Rebellion Against Electronic Arts Digital Rights Management

That's right! A rebellion against EA's DRM is in order!

Well, nothing fancy, just boycotting EA's games from now until DRM is just a bad dream. The next original games I'll be buying are Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. Go Vivendi!

What is DRM?

DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a general term for things that copyright holders, developers, etc. use to limit the usage of their stuff.

What's EA's DRM?

SecuROM, EA's DRM is pure evil. Seriously though, it secretly installs itself in your harddrive (kernel 0 or something, along with root files), and uses a bit of your resources to beam stuff from you PC back to EA.

Why is it bad then?

Well, aside from the install limit, it doesn't do its job. Piracy is even more rampant since the arrival of SecuROM, and it's a violation of privacy. The consumer unknowingly installs it along with his/her game. Not only this, but it basically takes your game for ransom. Do one bad thing and you can't touch the game you already paid for ever again.

Well, these are my opinions on the matter anyway.
