Some people claim the SecuROM is responsible for breaking their hardware or corrupting their hard drives, but how do you actually PROVE that? Until someone PROVES it, the creator of SecuROM is legally able to claim that their software has never damaged anyone's computer whether that is "true" or not, because the burdon of proof is on the consumer to prove otherwise and it's extremely difficult (if not impossible to do that). Just because the company SAYS this, does not make it TRUE, but neither is it necessarily true when people claim SecuROM has damaged their hardware.

The possibility of damaging a user's computer is enough for EA to step back and think twice on using SecuROM. But, they still continue to bundle their games with SecuROM without letting the user know about. The fact that they don't even let the user know about it is a bit disturbing, considering there is no normal method of uninstalling SecurROM.
