Like a CD key?
Spore only requires authentication when you install the game and when you download new content.

My personal feelings: Copy protection only affects legitimate users.  Pirates don't have to deal with it.  I have had many many legitimately purchased games fail to work because of the copy protection.  I wish they would just drop the whole thing.

Also, if you think online authentication won't ever get shut off and leave you with a shiny $60 coaster, think again: http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/22/2130225
Have fun with your brick'd microsoft music.  Also a few years from now, have fun with your brick'd copy of vista and get on board the man-train of the next windows OS which will likely be subscription based. 

I swear I'm just going to pack up my NES, SNES and the last CRT television on earth and move to a cabin in the woods.  I'll play games that start working the instant you hit the power button and eat animals that I've killed with a black powder rifle.  Maybe I'll take a Commodore 64 too in case I feel like making some games.
