Earlier this month, game publisher Stardock released its first annual Customer Report where, among many other things, it gave it's thoughts on DRM for games and what was good and bad about them. Now Edge Online reports that Stardock is creating its own copyright security solution in response to (unnamed) publishers who want to protect their games but would please customers as well.

Stardock's own games like Sins of a Solar Empire and the upcoming Demigod don't use DRM (they do require an Internet registration to download updates) but as Stardock CEO Brad Wardell states, "....the fact is that most publishers are never going to agree to do that." While the idea is still being worked on, Wardell states that they are looking into ways for customers to have the license for a game, rather than an intall rate with Wardell saying, ""We want that license to be yours, not per machine. ... It's not your machine buying the game. It's you." They are also looking into ways of downloading a game if you lose the physical disk copy via an email address.
