		<description><![CDATA[So, in case you haven&#8217;t heard already, Ubisoft has decided to release the PC-version of the game &#8220;Prince of Persia&#8221; without any DRM whatsoever. Read this if you haven&#8217;t caught up to this news yet.
I applaud this move, and I went and bought it because of this. I hadn&#8217;t actually considered buying this game, because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was reading a blog when I started thinking on the whole DRM issue. Initially it was just my irritation at having drivers installed in the system, and the fact that we&#8217;re being treated as criminals that bothered me, but it&#8217;s starting to become clear that it goes deeper than that.
Lately (i.e. last 3-5 years) [...]]]></description>

I agree on a few points, mainly that it isn&#8217;t a problem for [...]]]></description>

Now I&#8217;m not going to say that having absolutely no DRM is the way forward, although that would be a very welcome change of pace. What I am saying, however, is that the current trend of treating my property [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been an avid player the last 20 years, but lately the frustrations of  being a legal gamer are starting to exceed the pleasures of gaming itself. So  much so I&#8217;ve even resorted to writing &#8220;open letters&#8221; about it.
This whole thing began as silly and easily circumvented things such as manual [...]]]></description>

Games such as Spore have received a lot of favorable reviews for the game itself, but the copy protection&#8217;s limits have made people get up in arms and [...]]]></description>
