That's just what I was thinking. At this point, we have a few reaonably reliable facts.


User Experience: Two Bits of Anecdotal Evidence
  1. Homerette was running the software that SecuROM is designed to thwart and had difficulty with her CD burner after installing SecuROM.
  2. Hokieman does not have that software installed and has had no difficulty with SecuROM.

Related Human Behavior
  1. We have seen no advisories about SecuROM from Microsoft, Norton, McAfee or any other reliable source regarding malware.
  2. We have seen no evidence of either civil or criminal prosecution of the publishers or distributors of SecuROM.
  3. Although SecuROM has been distributed with hundreds of games, the only great drama about it is within the Sims community.
  4. 100% of the hoopla about SecuROM in the Sims community is traceable to a site well-known for fomenting drama, distributing misinformation, and promoting crime.
  5. The claims and speculation about the ill effects of SecuROM are growing increasingly salacious and speculative.
