I am a lawyer. And I would suggest that you start reading the EULA. Probably something there about the OSP. And anyhow, by Norwegian (and probably most EU-contries) law you can only claim what you have paid for the game. You cant go to court citing unlawfull terms of contract when you bought the game knowing about the DRM/OSP. And what would you demand instead? That they remove the OSP? The court cant decide that, we guys live in a free world.

And its not illegal for UBI to have a EULA (contract between you and them) that requieres you to have a permanent internet connection to play. Its a free market and this is a entertainment product, not a nessesity.

Compare it to iTunes/iPod-binding and DVD-zones. Controversial but not illegal.
