What's your take on Securom?
Tenshii~Akari:
As despicable as SecuRom may be, it is not a virus, as abaris has said. Your backups will still be safe to use. To clarify on what a rootkit really does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit
SecuRom is along those lines by disallowing certain parts of your machine to function correctly whenever it sees a "potential" threat of pirating, though not in direct control of another hidden "user", but of bad coding itself. People have gotten lucky, like nobody7382 and others, but there are still others who have come across problems because SecuRom doesn't like their hardware or software installed, even legal software. As invasive as that is, I don't blame people for being angry about it... heck, I was quite angry about it when I first found out it does that, but I've since calmed down over the issue, seeing as it won't do me any good to be yet another "unaffected rager" about it. :lol: And yes, the potential of people making up stories about it on the BBS and other sites is there... but honestly we can't rule out the possibility of said stories being true, right? (...well, the "outlandish" ones are most likely unbelievable, but those along the lines of the normal symptoms that everyone has experienced should be considered.)

I must not have problems with SecuRom, because I don't even know what it is. I have Bon Voyage and Freetime, and I don't remember ever having problems with them when I installed them, or anything after they were installed. O_o
Tenshii~Akari:
I hear that someone (or a certain company) is getting sued. :twisted:
Interesting, though... wonder how this whole case will turn out. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out on the news matter. :lol:
EKozski:
Ther'a another class action suit over their Sports Games too.

Yeah, that's why I always say, that this piece of crap doesn't get an invitation to my hard drive. It's just another step of corporate suits adressing the consumer as the enemy. You're very welcome to deliver your money, but don't mind if we're taking over your computer.
I certainly hope they pay dearly - more than a whole legion of pirates would cost them.
