Special thanks to whoever made this.
We’re such oddballs here at Riddlethos.com.
This week, (March 5 to be precise) Ubisoft will finally release Assassin’s Creed II for the PC. Good news for the twelve people who will buy it, right? Wrong. With Assassin’s Creed II, Ubisoft is rolling out a brand-spankin-new DRM (Digital Rights Management) safety measure.
In order to play Assassin’s Creed II on the PC, you’ll need an internet connection. Furthermore, you’ll have to be connected to Ubisoft’s servers at all times while playing the game. Creepy, eh?
Oh, and if you’re disconnected from the internet for any reason, at any time, you’ll be thrown back to the menu screen.
To say the least, it seems like this new DRM may be a deterrent to people who live in countries with large expanses devoid of internet. Like, say, North America. Also, Ubisoft is not my big brother, so they don’t always need to be watching.
In honor of Ubisoft’s stellar efforts to further the cause of big, money-grubbing companies that criminalize their customers, and of draconian DRM measures that will serve only to increase piracy, This Week is Copy Protected.

It truly baffles me how unaware these people are.
HAHAHA that picture is brilliant!
So for the entire week, we’ll only be allowed to have one article of the site opened at a time, and it’ll close itself after 20 minutes?
Exactly.
It’s not exactly, uh, working yet, but soon.
Riddlethos.com must do everything it can that its content is not illegally copied and/or distributed.
Because you would HATE to have people enjoy your content willy nilly.
That’s right, we need to squeeze out every cent we deserve!
We need to ENSURE that we get all the $0 out of every one of our users!
To be fair, you work your ass off for those $0!
