Bundestrojaner included

1. "By installing the Origin software Agrees that the use of 'automatic licensing rights for some or all EA products can check without Notified separately about'.

2. In addition, the conditions provide that EA via software information on 'computer, hardware, media, software' which can use 'use of the application', to 'examine and license rights to update the application'.

3. EA permits and 'partners' [...] the 'collect, use, store and transmit technical and related information' from the monitored computers. Specifically, these include: IP addresses, usage data, software equipment, software usage and existing hardware peripherals. The information may also be used to 'marketing purposes', according to EA Terms of Service. "

------------------

It may therefore be all the information PC scanned and used by the Publisher according to the Terms and Conditions. Software equipment and software usage not relate solely to the game but to all installed applications. Even those who "its partners" are precisely called nowhere.

It is indeed in the meantime already used to that you have to agree to any games in processing of user data - here but the acquisitiveness is really opened the floodgates. Will especially be kept free game Strangers query content solid.

Clearly a breach of German law. As long as EA with its Origin doing so, for me there is only one alternative - the game goes back as this "small" fact previously was not known and thus the Conditions can not be accepted.
