Lawsuit filed against EA's choice of DRM for Spore

And speaking of lawsuits, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against EA over Spore's DRM (SecuROM). Seems like the DRM issue has angered people enough to fight about it in court. This is even after EA, noticing how unpopular their choice of DRM was, loosened restrictions on Spore, increasing activations from 3 to 5 plus some other measures.

I doubt that EA will be found guilty of this (since they would probably claim that everyone in the industry does this and it's just to protect their profits, etc.) however it will hopefully at the very least show that some gamers dislike SecuROM enough to go to court about it - which goes to show to what degree people hate this form of DRM.
