I understand what your saying Ships.

Would we love an unborn child less if we learned prior to its birth that it had a disease or deformity? As a parent, I can say I wouldn't love that child less. In essence, if I understand you right - is comparing SH5 to an unborn child - and the DRM to the disease or deformity.

The difference is that as parents, we recognize that nature sometimes takes paths we would not have chosen, but that neither parent has control over. In this case, the DRM chosen by UBI (and I am ok with them using DRM, just that this one is excessive) is akin to you and your girl knowng she is pregnant, then her deciding to go smoke like a chimney, drink like a fish, shoot snort and smoke drugs like Lil' Wayne with the knowledge that such actions could and likely will harm the baby developing - all for her own selfish reasons. This is what UBI is doing. We as the "other" half of the equation see what the dangers are, we are doing all we can to encourage UBI to stop this destructive behavior before we are stuck with a decision to either "support" this upon its birth, or make the decision to turn our backs on it.

With a baby, the father has no legal rights until that child is born. We as a community are in the same boat. However, with SH5, we can legally decide to NOT assume the responsibility of paying for the software once it hits the shelves. Its amazing how this shows the paradox of abortion - but the reality is that UBI is acting like a teen mother with thoughts of invincibility and a selfish attitude, and real life is going to come smack it in the face at some point. It always does.
