As posted on "Courthouse News". There is a downloadable PDF of the
action, but an article explains some here:

http://www.courthousenews.com/2008/09/23/

I didn't realise that you can't remove Securom without a re format; is
this correct?



Sorry to reply to my own post, just realised the brief article is wrong,
the
action is correct and does not allege that Spore "completely wipes your
hard
drive".

Better link here:

The pirates must be rotflol !


Except they cracked Spore before it was released, so they don't care about
the DRM. The hacking crews, or whatever they're called, enjoy breaking the
DRM and being first to "market" with a working cracked version is a matter
of pride (at least it used to be, not sure if they still do all that now).
