Given the recent backlash against the DRM and SecuROM in Spore, you would think that EA might change their tactics? Nope- they are standing strongly by it, though they have lightened up and are allowing 5 installs before you have to contact their wonderful customer support for Red Alert 3.

Red Alert 3 is shaping up to be a world-class RTS game that will give you many hours of enjoyment. I think it would be a shame if people decided to not play a great game simply because it came with DRM, but I understand that this is a very personal decision for many of you and I respect that. As you might imagine, I’m a lot less respectful of those people who take the position that they will illegally download a game simply because it has DRM.
