轉貼最下樓的說法(有關drm纏訟的事)
The main reason for this lawsuit is because the user is not prompted that third party software SecuROM (Published by Sony) will be installed. SecuROM represents that it installs itself to Ring 3 (by having a part of itself called the UA7service.exe writting to Ring 3), when in fact it installs its primarily operational code to the Kernel (aka Ring 0). Ring 3, which is the normal zone used by Software has much lower permissions.
這起訴訟最主要的原因是因為使用者
並未被告知第三方軟體securom(sony出版)將被安裝。
Securom聲稱它只被安裝到ring 3層級
(因其中一部分ua7service.exe被寫入ring 3),
但事實上它主要運作程式碼卻被安裝在核心部分(也就是ring 0),
而ring 3是一般軟體使用的區域,對系統掌握權極低。


Writing itself to the Kernel of the computer allows SecuROM to have control over all other programs and processes on the computer, including equipment that the computer users are legally permitted and entitled to possess (e.g., two cd/dvd drives on the computer.)
securom把自己寫入電腦系統核心以便控制電腦上所有其它程式與程序,
包含電腦使用者合法持有之裝備(如2台cd/dvd…)


No notification of the nature, function, and operation of the SecuROM program was provided to Spore purchasers. No notice of its secret installation was provided to persons who loaded and installed the Spore computer game. No one was told that it was a separate program installing to the Kernel of the computer and that it could not be uninstalled.
對於買spore的人來說,
securom的本質、功能、運作皆沒有任何的通知。
安裝spore的人對Securom被秘密安裝一無所知。
沒有人被告知它是一個被安裝到系統核心且獨立運作不能反安裝的程式。
(ps:最後因為心虛有放出反安裝檔,沒人提告自然就石沉大海囉)


Nowhere in any of EA's discussions, responces or explanations of its DRM did EA disclose that the Spore disk contained a separately installed, stand alone, uninstallable DRM program which would install itself to the command and control center of the computer (Kernel) and oversee function and operation on the computer, preventing certain user actions, preventing certain user programs from operating, or disrupting hardware operations. In fact, all of EA's representations about its Spore DRM talk in terms of "online authentication" - as if all DRM protection was entirely online-based and resident at EA's website, instead of being program-based at the operating system level of the user's own computer. These representations by EA are clearly significant misrepresentations of EA's DRM regime given the fact that the actual process involves a seperate DRM program permanently installed onto the hard drive of the user's compute
上面懶得再翻,看懂的自己看吧!
這裡也有securom對系統控制權的相關討論.
http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10448
說明securom已經達到系統ring 0的層級。

總之,個人認為ea供北菜又胡亂搞,
迷惑無知民眾又把遊戲產業弄得烏煙瘴氣,
就用piracy制裁它吧!
如果等不及制裁版又很想玩,
不妨就買來玩,憋著總是不好啊~~
