According to this GamesPolitics piece, EA's facing a pair of class action suits of its use of copy protection system SecuROM.

The cases, filed by Pennsylvanian Richard Eldridge and Dianna Cortez of Missouri, accuse EA of "deceptive and unlawful" practices, and claim the publisher's use of SecuROM is "immoral, unethical, oppressive [and] unscrupulous," among much more.
