Anyone remember the Sony rootkit affair ?
People starting ranting about that and Sony backed down then offered an exchange on the infected cd's and a software removal tool to get rid of the rootkit.
I think why the DRM thing keeps coming up is because (certainly we here are really passionate about subsims) and we were really looking forward to the release of SH5 only to be hit with these draconian demands just to play the game.So a mixture of anger and disappointment gets vented such is the depths of peoples feelings on this issue.

Maybe that quote's a bit extreme in this case
,but if we don't tell these companies that we will not stand for these impositions they will continue to treat us as criminals,as in 'WE do not trust you with our product,please proceed to hoop A....NOW JUMP'
