My fellow gamers, I am sad to inform you that it has been confirmed that the upcoming RPG from Piranha Bytes will be delivered with a DRM system. This is basically a very intrusive method of protection that has been openly criticized by customers of the games that were using such protection

More about DRM here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management
Myths about DRM, why it is bad: http://geocities.com/foobar_77/drm-myths.html
Some thoughts about copy protection: http://geocities.com/foobar_77/thoughts-on-cp.html

This petition is not in favor of the game not having a copy protection, but against DRM specifically.

By signing this you join our protest against this abusive method and state that there is a big chance that you will not buy the game if it is going to be used.
