Not necessarily so. Many programs are looking for online updates once in a while. It doesn't mean that they require an internet connection for doing their normal stuff, or that they are DRM protected. Indeed, most of them allow you to disable autoupdates. It is not the case of U-play, but this is anoher matter...

I don't like the thought of Ubisoft using this DRM to further their petty meddlings into my likes, dislikes and purchase habits, and then to stupidly leave the toilet seat up for any hack to mercilessly cut our PC's throats.

Are you using google, facebook, safari, etc? For many of these programs/websites there's more than a suspected that they are keeping records of our online activities... Now days the big brother isn't anymore only a TV format

Yes I did, but I didn't remove the plugin. I just disabled it as described by 0rpheus in the other thread
