The first known use of Sony's controversial digital rights management software Securom was in the 2008 video game "Spore." There had been allegations that Securom was used in the video game "Bio Shock," but an analysis of the game's code did not detect the rootkit in the game.
SecuROM is in fact illegal. It modifies it's System Registry entries to make it impossible to delete short of wiping the drive or using special tools. It logs your games, and reports/lists games that may not be legal to SecuRom, which in turn reports you. Its essentially a rootkit. STAY AWAY FROM SECUROM. It also blocks the use of emulation programs to play a game.
Yes, "The Sims 2 Double Deluxe" does include SecuROM as part of its copy protection measures. This DRM (Digital Rights Management) system was implemented to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of the game. However, the use of SecuROM has been controversial, as it may cause compatibility issues on some systems. In 2013, players might still encounter these issues when trying to run the game on newer operating systems.
