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
