I loathe software like StarForce because it's mingling with my hardware. Not only because it has the potential to render my hardware useless, it can also be exploited by hackers. Sony's DRM software is an example of such. I'm glad Sony got all this negative attention, and I hope they'll think twice before misleading its honest, law abiding custumers again, who had no idea what's happening behind the curtain when simply playing one of their CD's.

Ironically StarForce doesn't stop piracy of their protected games at all, so it's also completely useless, except to prevent honest customers from backing up their CD's to prevent wear of the original ones.
