A young anti-piracy outfit say they conducted a most unusual experiment a few weeks ago. According to the founder of Vigilant Defender, the company took a leaked copy of Deus Ex Human Revolution, modified its code and re-uploaded it to torrent sites. Users downloading the copy got to enjoy the first few levels of the game but were then thrown into a controversial experiment......

"I don't think there will ever be an "uncrackable" drm. There are a lot of super smart people in the anti-drm area. In my experience buying games with drm, I've had more problems actaully paying for games. There are a lot of times, after buying a game, I will download a crack because of problems, just to make the game freaking run." :lol:
