So why do people hate the dreaded Spore DRM (or any DRM) again?

You "loaning" the game without uninstalling it is piracy
WHY?
i do with my product whatever i want.

Ok, for example, i paid and downloaded the game. I paid for this software/game. Now, i can do whatever i want with that software, since i paid for it and now it is mine.
They can try to set copy protection program on that software, it`s their as developers RIGHT.
But i can crack that copy protection program, since it`s my SOFTWARE and i paid for it and have RIGHT to do whatever i want with it.

Again, where is piracy?

That would be altering the original code, which, as defined by most software user agreements (the legally binding agreements that no one bothers to read), would be illegal.

Call it piracy, product improvement, awesomeness multiplier, whatever; it's still illegal.

You might want to read those user agreements the next time you buy a piece of software. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking a legally binding contract.

When you pay for a game, you're really buying a user license, the terms of which are pretty specificially outlined in legalese. It does not give the user carte blanche to decompile the game or do whatever they want with it.
