I reckon it's more likely that they'd get rid of someone who proved it to them.

What the fuck Fourcats. Offensive, not appropriate, not even relevant. Try to be a little less fail. Get that shit out of this thread.

The sad thing about all this is that the federal goverment, through the passage of HR 4279 sponsored by John Conyers (D-MI), has pretty much given software manufacturers the legal right to do anything with regard to copyright protection.
The bill does not provide any rights to the consumer. The Copyright Alliance had pumped over $100,000.00 to get this passed. I have no idea what the MPA (Motion Picture Alliance) has made in payments through their lobbyists. I believe there was an addition made to this bill just recently. It is a pretty severe one. Software manufacturers can destroy consumers' computers and still be within legal rights in their pursuit of software protection. Of course this will encourage companies like Sony to get more aggressive in their actions to provide copyright protection to software manufacturers, and without any legal limitations.

I really don't see the problem with SecuRom. It's not like this is some brand new thing that appeared out of nowhere to ruin Simmers' computers. The copy protection has been around for what, maybe 10 years now. Perhaps it seems "new" to people that only play the Sims 2 and nothing else, but SecuRom definitely isn't new.
For all the gamers out there, you can't just remove it. You will need it for probably 50% of the games that came out in the last few years since it is the most widely used copy protection now.
I remember everyone raging about the StarForce protection, which is way more invasive than SecuRom. But if you're a general gamer (and not just a Sims-only player), then you know all about SecuRom. Personally, I don't mind the protection. Just remove the pirate tools off your system (such as Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools), and game should load fine for 99% of you.
It may have a few problems with some weird computer setups, but you can fill out that form at the Securom web site and they either send you a better game executable that should work or I think even a code to allow the game to run. I think you guys are blowing this way way way out of proportion.
That's just my 2 cents so feel free to flame me all you want.
Companies have a right to protect their games and they have been doing so for over 20 years.

Companies do not have a right to damage their users' hardware. I've heard quite a few people say SecuROM killed their CD/DVD drives. They can't ALL be wrong and/or lying.
