I'm not sure what you mean. Should UBI have released the game in a state that would have allowed pirated copies?

Whilst always-on DRM is not an ideal solution, I don't resent UBI for trying to protect their business.

If the DDOS stories are true, well, I suspect that is less a story of 'DRM protest' and more a case of script kiddies venting their anger that they are not allowed to steal and distribute the product.

all I know

is that if I'm trying to play the game with my copy, while my father uses his... it seems that the authentication server goes mad.

I still have to try again, but if it's going like this they've got to be kidding me.
