GameRecoil -> -> De Authorization Tool Helps Out Pirates

• 

  
  

  Are you a pirate, but shudder at the thought of committing an actual crime? Yarrrrr!

  Maxis, in order to get around some digital rights issues, created a De-Authorization Tool to be used with your Spore account and game disc. In official language, "By running the de-deauthorization tool, a machine 'slot' will be freed up on the online Product Authorization server and can then be re-used by another machine."
  
  "You can de-authorize at any time, even without uninstalling Spore, and free up that machine authorization. If you re-launch Spore on the same machine, the game will attempt to re-authorize. If you have not reached the machine limitation, the game will authorize and the machine will be re-authorized using up one of the five available machines."

  Basically, what it means is that if you want to share your game with friends (or perhaps borrow it from a friend), you can do so in a perfectly legal way. You can share your Spore disc up to 5 times and still be able to log onto your account without getting yelled at by the FBI, or whoever takes care of crap like that.
  
  The tool is available at www.spore.com.
