Imagine you are on vacation taking YOUR OWN pictures and when the film comes back you have all sorts of pop up adds IN the freaking picture with you!

That is the technology behind this thing. It is the ultimate invasion of privacy I say.

I sense you don't know half the invasions of your privacy going down.
Bought an EA game in the last... Oh. Two years or so?
Welcome to SecuRom. :)

It's not to invasive in older games, but that changes with the new release (Spore comes with it, and I believe Mass Effect did too)

That's just the start.

I am planning to buy spore. What does it do? Pop up an ad during game play that says "Click here to continue?" or does the ad play unseen by your eyes but picked up subconsciously by your brain?

Rediculous.

I do wonder though why they never showed a printed shot of what's supposed to happen...

It's kind of neat, but couldn't you just get around it by not using a flash?

Bypasses Admin control and decides whether the HArdware and Software on your computer is legal.
If not (And let us make a note here, It doesn't recognise some third party stuff as "Legal" whether it is or not) you ain't using it.
People have reported CD re writers, DVD drives and GRAPHICS CARDS being rejected by this invasive piece of... Software.
And it's illegal anyway, last lot to use it were successfully sued.

You can just use the cracked EXE, but I can't tell you where to get that, or I'll be in trouble.
