EA hit with class action lawsuit over Spore DRM

The outcry over the DRM in Spore continues. On Monday EA was served with a class action lawsuit over the game; although the suit doesn't deal with the limited number of installations or limitations on creating online accounts, rather the suit goes after the SecuROM software at the heart of EA's DRM scheme in Spore. As many of you have pointed out in the comments, there's no official way to uninstall the SecuROM software. The suit states: 

Although consumers are told that the game uses access control and copy protection technology, consumers are not told that this technology is actually an entirely separate, stand-alone program which will download, install, and operate on their computers, along with the Spore download.

Consumers are given no control, rights, or options over SecuROM. The program is uninstallable. Once installed, it becomes a permanent part of the consumer's software portfolio. Even if the consumer uninstalls Spore, and entirely deletes it from their computer, SecuROM remains a fixture in their computer unless and until the consumer completely wipes their hard drive through reformatting or replacement of the driver.

The entire 36-page suit can be found here.
