Stardock CEO, Brad Wardell, introduces and explains the “Gamer’s Bill of Rights” to G4TV. 

The Gamer’s Bill of Rights is:

“a statement of principles that it hopes will encourage the PC game industry to adopt standards that are more supportive of PC gamers. The document contains 10 specific "rights" that video game enthusiasts can expect from Stardock as an independent developer and publisher that it hopes that other publishers will embrace.”

In this video Brad gives a great overview of the Gamers Bill of Rights, and shows it being signed by many people who attended PAX this year.  Check out the video below.

Stardock has always been fighting the good fight with no DRM in games, open installs, a great PC platform in Impulse, all the goods. I read something about GalCiv2 that despite a DRM company (Starforce) openly linking to an active torrent for the game, they still posted better sales-to-known-pirates rate than most other PC games out at the time.
Stardock treats their customers with respect, and in return, people who sit on the fence of "Pirate vs. Buy" have returned the favor.
