Oh if it isn't then what is it? Prove to me that Assassin's Creed 2 booting you out of the game whenever it can't contact Ubisoft isn't abusive. Prove it to me when they cut off those servers and you can't play anymore, like when MS killed a bunch of PlaysForSure servers.

Ok. I buy plenty of games with minimal DRM, nothing beyond Steam, which Valve has worked hard to make sure it actually provides -benefits- to the user instead of acting as a ball and chain.

I would certainly like to try other games, but they seem to be infected with **** like what Ubisoft is pulling with Assassin's Creed 2, or they have SecuROM and activation limits. They are designed -purely to screw the paying user.- Punishment for actually buying.

I buy regular CDs, thankfully no encrypted method has really taken off and DRM has fallen by the wayside for digital purchases (which I don't really make.)

Movies I tend not to buy, but BD+ is regularly cracked and CSS is outright dead. I applaud their efforts.

The simple fact is that DRM is a means by which content providers gain false security, abuse their paying customers, and do not impinge upon pirates in the slightest. As such I will alway oppose DRM, but I will also pay for content I want and enjoy IF and ONLY IF the producer doesn't see it fit to abuse me for it.
