EA hit with two more SecuROM lawsuits


Last month, in the wake of the controversy surrounding Electronic Arts' DRM set-up for Spore, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the publisher, alleging that EA did not disclose the use of the SecuROM software in the alien evolution sim game. Now Game Politics is reporting that EA has been hit with two more lawsuits, each alleging the install of the SecuROM software without their knowledge.

One lawsuit centers around the software being installed with Spore Creature Creator, the stand alone creator editor. The other is for the software being installed with The Sims 2: Bon Voyage expansion pack, released a year ago. In the latter case, the person claimed problems with their PC arose after installing the expansion. All three plaintiffs in the SecuROM lawsuits are represented by the same lawyer. EA has yet to comment on these lawsuits.
