Flightsimlabs was recently found out to have deliberately put a virus into their game via a game update with the stated intent to harvest Chrome passwords from pirates of their game. This virus they attempted to call DRM, but no matter haw many times they attempt to call it that, it does not change the fact that in their zeal to catch pirates, they have violated customer trust and the law in several countries and have created quite the controversy over their PC game.
