"Spore has seen its share of disgruntled customers over the game's use of some very intrusive DRM, but now more gamers have started to seek a legal remedy to their problems with SecuROM. At the end of September a class-action lawsuit was filed claiming that SecuROM did everything but set the users' houses on fire, and now two more class-action lawsuits have been filed against EA.

The first lawsuit was filed by Richard Eldridge, and concerned the use of SecuROM in the free version of the game's Creature Creator. "Consumers are given no notices whatsoever that the FREE trial version of the game includes Digital Rights Management technology... Consumers are given no control, rights, or options over SecuROM," the suit alleges. "The program cannot be completely uninstalled."
