We are being made to trade a freedom for the protection of someone else (Ubisoft).


Now perhaps I am using over grandiose quotes and using them out of
context, but I think there is a point in there none the less.
Nice thought, but what is freedom here? We're free to buy this game or not. If we do buy it, we do know what we're in for.

On a side note, as a student of political science, I can say that according to many philosophers a person is only free in a socity of rules that "protect" freedom, whereas people living in a lawless anarchist world have no absolute freedom, since personal freedoms can be undermined by others at any time.
