These types of shenanigans are the reason EA keeps putting SecuRom on us. I hope those torrents are shut down. Friggin' idiots and thieves.
I wonder why they even do bother. Things like DRM and SecuRom only serves to punish the people who buy the original game. And for a good pirate, these things can be cracked by them like a termite-infested log of wood. Remember Spore? They leaked it and the game had a crack in... what, one day? Three days?
EA is retarded. Normal Human Logic dictates that when X method does not work, you try Y method. If Y method fails, you try the Z method. EA method? Let's try X. Again. And Again. AAAAAAND again. Pirates can play the game in peace in the short space of some days. The buying consumers? They are BUTT-RAPPED with DRM, SecuROM and online registration before playing. Real smooth.
Bethesda's Piracy policy ins't bad, though. They pretty much accepted the truth already: DRM and SecuRom DO NOT WORK. It's like that guy whose punishment in Hades is carrying a big rock though a hill, and just as he's reaching the summit, he falls and has to start again. Forever.
