Long time ago in another board i read about someone theory about the DRM.
He thought publishers adding such DRM to their game were not doing that to counter piracy, as with a simple usage of google they could easily notice the pirated copies of their products floating everywhere around the internet and their protection were removed by the pirates.
His theory was about the DRM being there to prevent the customer to sell the product he bought from the publisher to another individual.
Because such kind of second hand sales does not give back money to the publisher.
Recently i noticed this article
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...ical-situation
And what is the company whinning about second hand sales in that article ... EA, the same ones that obviously insist in putting DRM on products that are already pirated and their protection bypassed.
It seems to give more weight to the DRM against second hand sales instead of piracy counter theory.
