Feel cheated by Spore’s DRM? You may be entitled to a settlement, thanks to a class action lawsuit that Melissa Thomas of Maryland has filed on behalf of all owners of EA’s long-anticipated PC game (within the United States, of course). Claiming that the SecuROM digital rights management is permanently and unknowingly installed on a user’s computer, she cites the almost 2,500 one star reviews on Amazon.com focused only on the DRM. If the case goes through, then EA may have to pay upwards of five million dollars to owners of the game.

 

This court case is sure to put a damper on the news the EA has sold 1 million copies of Spore.
