Un nou raport de pe GamePolitics ne dezvaluie inca 2 procese impotriva lui Electronics Arts si SecuROM.

GamePolitics has learned that a pair of new class-action lawsuits were lodged against Electronic Arts in October. Both suits were filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and both target EA’s use of the controversial SecuROM digital rights management (DRM) software on the company’s PC games.

In the first case, a Pennsylvania man, Richard Eldridge, alleges that the Spore Creature Creator Free Trial Edition secretly installed SecuROM on his PC, a violation that Eldridge terms “deceptive and unlawful.”

Desii stim cu totii ca pirateria este o problema majora, tot nu cred ca SecuROM are dreptul sa ne limiteze in asa fel utilizarea produsului. Daca am cumparat produsul, e al meu, pot sa il instalez pe toate calculatoarele mele. Spore, Mass Effect si Far Cry2 aveau ca DRM(data rights management) controversatul SecuROM, astfel utilizatorii avand limitari destul de stricte, nu puteau sa reinstaleze jocul de mai mult de 5 ori. Decat sa dea atatia bani pe un sistem anti-piraterie asa de avansat, mai bine s-ar uita la Valve, care a inteles ca decat sa arunce banii(da, am zis arunce deoarece orice sistem anti-piraterie va fi spart, iar jocul va fi piratat oricum) mai bine ar investii banii aceeia in servicii mai bune.
