Spore and DRM
Spore uses SecuROM, and requires an internet connection when you install it. It also has an install limit of 3 or 5, depending on when you bought your copy. You may be able to beg your way to another install, but be prepared to be assumed a pirate.
The severity of the copy protection has prompted it to become one of the most pirated games the last few years, simply because it had the DRM it had.
I was going to buy the game, but I’m currently rather glad I didn’t. I will not stand for being treated as a criminal-in-the-making which must be monitored at all times to make sure I don’t use the software in a manner which They ™ don’t approve of.
I’m not alone in being pissed, though. There’s an ongoing lawsuit, for one. I hope they win through, so that maybe EA and other publishing companies can stop infringing on and ruining our computers.
