Yeah. So? Are you retarded that you can't see this? It has ZERO effect on the legitimate user as well because the legitimate user can always just download and play a pirated copy as well if they really wanted or needed to (it is very unlikely that this need will ever come up for the vast majority of legit users for the reasons I pointed out below but anyway...). As long as you own a legit copy you aren't even technically a pirate if you play a pirated copy. The way you are arguing is that the legit user is somehow magically cut off from ever using a cracked version of a game. They're not. So in the end they are as affected (well, or not affected for that matter) as the pirates. Same thing.

You can't seriously be making this argument. Essentially what you're saying is that DRM is fine because you can always pirate the game if you run out of activations. Do you not see how self-contradictory that statement is? DRM is designed to prevent illegal copying of a game, and you're claiming DRM is fine because you can always make an illegal copy of a game. In which case what is the DRM actually doing?

If it didn't have an effect we wouldn't have billions of anti SecuROM threads.

Well there's some fine... Well, I'll be generous and call it "logic". SecuROM works because people are against it. By that logic, Bush is the most effective president the US has ever had.
