By now, everyone should be familiar with the issue of Securom and the manner in which it is adversely affecting games sales in recent months. However, for those of you who have been living under a rock, the situation could be summed up as follows: 1) A number of companies, particularly EA, are using a form of DRM called Securom, devised by Sony, for the alleged purpose of protecting their games against piracy. 2) To the best of my knowledge, no company includes a statement relating to Securom on the EULA. Therefore this software downloads and installs without the user being aware and can therefore be classified as malware or a rootkit.

3) Securom can cause conflict with legally purchased software installed on the computer, such as Nero. The software seemingly scans the system to detect programs that it terms as pirate tools and prevents the user from installing the purchased game. 4) There are reports of Securom causing damage to hardware. 5) Securom remains on the computer even after the game is uninstalled. 6) There are various levels of Securom ranging from the draconian install limitations imposed on titles such as EA’s Spore to the seemingly more innocent disk check employed on Bethsheba’s Fallout 3. Securom may or may not force the user to have an Internet connection in order to play the game and may or may not limit the number of times a game can be installed.
