I can pretend to read the entire document. Though that would be boring, so I will just copy and past quotes from another article I’ll link at the end.
“…Nowhere in any of EA’s discussions, responses or explanations of its DRM did EA disclose that the Spore disk contained a separately-installed, stand-alone, uninstallable DRM program…”
The plaintiff and class seek damages in the amount of monies paid for Spore games, legal fees and other damages that in total amount to over $5 million.
EA is accused of violating the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, unfair competition and interfering with property.
$5 million may sound like a lot but when we are talking about legal action of this scale it isn’t much at all. Think of all those people suffering from DRM issues, this is just a drop in the pond for the suffering.
