    EA hit with a Class Action Lawsuit for SecuROM on Spore

    [​IMG]Well, well, well…It was bound to happen sooner or later, and to be honest, I’m glad it is sooner.* Looks like good ol’ EA has been slapped with a Class Action Lawsuit regarding SecuROM.* In a 36-page report, plaintiff Melissa Thomas claims that SecuROM is an undisclosed program which was not stated that it will be installed.

    Installed on our machines intrusively, there is no true way of removing such program even after the game is removed unless we were to completely wipe our harddrives.

    I hate to see it come to this (oh who the hell am I kidding, I’m GLAD).* I’ve been against SecuROM since day 1, and I hope EA will learn this lesson when they are sued big time.* Melissa, I stand by you 100% and wish you the best of luck!

    While I'm rooting for this proceed for us as plaintiffs to win, I have some serious doubts it will succeed mainly because EA put a note (while vague) there's DRM protection in the EULA.
