I find these security measures to tight. What happens if my Internet suddenly goes down and the game cannot re-validate my CD Key? I have to contact EA just so I can get my game that I bought with my own money just to get it to start working again?!
I realise that the security is there to stop pirating etc and I understand how big of a problem this is but isn't there any other solutions than a 10 day check? which many people may not be able to comply to (people without internet, vacations, etc).
Even though I am not one of these people, theres nothing to say that my Internet would keep running perfectly without any hitches. If these hitches do appear then, in the past, it has taken more than 10 days to fix.

I just hope there is a better way to protect this otherwise perfect game.
