Look at the Amazon.com ratings Mark Sly | 09/08/08

How so? laura.b | 09/08/08

Sure... Sleeper Service | 09/08/08

Here's a brief description. DRM ftl somethisguy | 09/08/08

Thank you laura.b | 09/08/08

DRM is impossible rpmyers1 | 09/08/08

No, I didn't. laura.b | 09/09/08

Why more than three activations? rodonn | 09/08/08

Drivel. Sleeper Service | 09/08/08

Largely Incorrect harbndog | 09/08/08

The glaring flaw in your 'locking down vs. getting ripped off' assumption. Letophoro | 09/08/08

Well said! techconc | 09/08/08

Again laura.b | 09/08/08

Certainly they can be blamed for trying. Letophoro | 09/08/08

But does it really? laura.b | 09/08/08

The problem with the "locks on doors" analogy. Zogg | 09/08/08

But you forget laura.b | 09/08/08

But it's also my PC. And I refuse EA's terms. Zogg | 09/08/08

I see what you're saying laura.b | 09/08/08

And "thanks" for assuming I'm a criminal, BTW. Zogg | 09/08/08

Are you for real? laura.b | 09/08/08

Ah, the "collective you", as in "everyone in the Whole World"! Zogg | 09/09/08

Clearly laura.b | 09/09/08

I'll answer all of your questions. Letophoro | 09/09/08

Thanks laura.b | 09/09/08
