OK, i buy all my games. I don't pirate. I love PC gaming and I have made the commitment to skip EA and SecuROM games on principle. I don't appreciate the heavy handed way Securom assumes I'm a thief. Heck, I don't like how Bestbuy and Frys (and other big stores) check our receipts at the door assuming we just shoplifted. I feel strongly about my honesty and legitimate purchase and I take that seriously so I don't appreciate it when it is questioned. Its insulting and offensive.

So even if Securom won't ruin my hardware, install itself without permission, give you limited activations, call home, or be so invisible I'd never notice (all do happen and all are valid various issues/concerns of other gamers BTW) I, personally will avoid Securom based primarily on MY issue/concern about the whole principle of the thing-...
