Yes, but if your internet dies within those 10 days, you're absolutely fine, it'll still play.

And once the internet comes back up it will be fine. I agree with you that the situation is completely blown out of proportion. I just can't stand the fact that some are trying to dismiss it out right as not an issue at all. It has made me seriously reconsider getting Spore.

It's not a problem for me at all unless this is true:

 

Taken from a poster on destructoid:
"http://masseffect.bioware.com/forums/viewtopic.html?topic=628375&forum=125&sp=3
Mass Effect and Spore will have a limited number of activations, similar to Bioshock before it. The number of these activations will be three. Every time Securom makes your game "cease to function" because it couldn't verify the legitimacy of the game, getting the game reactivated will blow an activation. Thus, after three such events, your game is bricked. Go buy a new copy, get a new CD-key." (or call tech support, possibly)

 

Somebody posted it earlier and I must say, it's shocking to say the least.
