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

When you pay for a game, you're really buying a user license,
so game is FREE?

Anyway, most console games don`t have those user agreements, so i`m free to do with that game whatever i want, NO?

You're really trying to use ignorance as a means of circumventing a legally binding contract, aren't you.

Read the last two pages of most game manuals, console or not and educate yourself as to exactly what are the terms of your user license.

GTAIV, Oblivion, CoD4, Heavenly Sword, GT5 Prologue, Motorstorm, Bioshock, etc. etc. They all have license agreements, terms of use, etc. some far more detailed than others.

You can do whatever you want with them, but whether you think you're within your legal right wouldn't protect you from being sued and losing in court though.

So no, you're not actually free to do whatever you want with your copy.

 

You guys are forgetting that you belong to different countries. In allmost all of europe you are not buying the license you are buying the game and it´s not illegal to borrow it to someone and have to copies of it.

In the US you aperantly are prohibited from doing so but here in Europe when you buy something it´s yours and you are allowed to do what you will with it unless you are copying it in a big scale and make money from it. Actually most countries only prohibit you to make money on a game you purchased but other then that you are allowed to do anyting you will with it.
