While us law-abiding citizens have to wait until Sunday to play Spore (which I can't wait to do), apparently the pirate sites already have a full rip of it.

Ok, this isn't anything new, but now EA has a freaking digital download service.  The game is out legitimately elsewhere in the world as well.  Why punish your rules-following, paying customers by making them wait until after the criminals?  In the long term this just isn't going to be healthy for anyone, I fear.
