not too long ago there was a case where EA used drm to keep a player from playing dragon age 2 because the guy badmouthed them on the games message boards. they literally blocked a guy from a game he dropped $60 on because he hurt their feelings.
"A player is unable to install Dragon Age following a temporary ban from the BioWare community forums.
User v_ware claims he was banned for asking if Bioware had 'sold their souls to the EA devil'. The ban then locked him out of the Bioware Social Network, blocking him from being able to play Dragon Age 2. A Bioware Social Network account is required to install copies of the game from the EA Store."

and of course theres the famous amazon removal of copies of 1984 that customers paid for.
