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

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.

 

 I have to think you are over stating your point here. Intelectual Property laws exist in every major european country and are harsher in some places than here in the US. There are a lot tighter laws on what you are allowed to do with the game but you are still limited. I can think of more than a few sites heavy in torrents that were based out of various European countries that got taken down hard and never made a dime. Same principle for game copying.

I said allmost all there are a few that have harsh laws but basicly they are not even close to yours, i´ve read the text in the games and they are riddicioulous. I am sure that you think they are reasnoable since you lived with it your whole life but for me that has lived without them my whole life I find them ridicioulous, insulting and very intrusive.
