Spore: Legal actions for EA
A Legal action has been issued in the United States against Electronic Arts regarding the use of DRM, the controversial copy-protection system, inside Spore. The main claim is that the information given to the users was not complete, making the players unaware of the fact that the SecuROM DRM is in fact a stand-alone program that must be downloaded, installed, and operated on the user’s PC. Even if the game is uninstalled, the copy-protection program will still remain in the system, unless the user completely reformats the hard disk. This claim bases itself on the fact that EA intentionally chose not to warn the users of such hidden program that installs itself on the PC without previous user notice. The full document can be found in this address, and although it is a legal action, it does not necessarily mean that it’ll be successful.
In the meantime, we’re looking for any replies that will be made by Electronic Arts on the issue.
