I'll define it this way:

Software that continues to meddle in your computer's affairs, even after the software it was installed with is removed.

I tried to use my Nero software to burn a few of my CD's up for a garage sale at my cousin's house, and after I selected the tracks I wanted to burn, it sent me a splash error message that I couldn't burn those tracks, as my DRM had been exceeded/expired? Ok, what? I wrote, arranged and produced those CD's in my kitchen. I own the copyrights on all of it. What's the deal there?

I attribute this to SecuROM that installed with NWN 2. I burned 40 CD's on my old rig with the same Nero software, that I legally own. I had everything installed on that rig, minus NWN 2, that I do on this one. In fact, I had a lot more games installed on the old rig. The only thing additional is NWN 2. Has anyone else come across this problem that has NWN 2 installed?
