Fade

FADE (or DEGRADE) is digital restrictions management software developed by Codemasters. It operates by detecting if a game has been pirated, and initially allows the player to use the game normally. It then gradually degrades certain game features over a time, eventually rendering it unplayable.

Fade or Fading may refer to:

• Fading, a loss of signal strength at a radio receiver
• Fade (audio engineering), a gradual change in sound volume
• Brake fade, in vehicle braking systems, a reduction in stopping power after repeated use
• FADE, a type of anti-piracy software

Als Fade (englisch fade) bezeichnet man eine Blende – einerseits im Tonbereich (Audio), andererseits im Bildbereich (Video).

Au sens propre, la fadeur ou le fade caractérise une chose manquant de saveur (insipide) et procurant une sensation gustative faible et décevante.
