More details from petition creator

With more and more consumers being effectively handcuffed by games producers using draconian methods of DRM, we require the government to protect our rights as consumers by investigating this issue. We maintain that "limited installs" and "online activation" are both misleading, immoral and discriminatory. We also maintain that our rights of resale are being infringed by said DRM methods.
