Saw this yesterday on digg and forgot to post it.

"After 10 days a re-check is required before the game can run," added French. "..An internet connection is not required to install, just to activate the first time, and every 10 days after."

EA are shooting themselves in the foot here, the only people that this is going to piss off is the people who actually buy the game. There will be a pirated version of the game out right after release (if not before) with this protection cracked (every other copy protection scheme has been, why not this one?).
On the digg thread a lot of people where saying that they would either just download a pirated version straight off or buy the game then download a crack (the best option i.m.o).
When will people learn that DRM (in any media) just pisses off legit customers and does nothing to combat piracy?
