MORE STUPIDITY!

CGW did some testing and concluded Starforce may indeed cause problems with certain optical drives, even leading to their destruction. When questioned about Starforce boycott and all the negative comments Starforce gets, their PR manager replied - wait for this -

We are now in close (some of us are sleeping with each other) coopreration with [US and Russian officials] investigating where the hell I put my keys.

Because if you dare question freedom restrictions, you must be a criminal. :crazy: How dare we say that their program affects our PCs when they've so clearly shown us the sourcecode to prove otherwise.

My version actually makes more sense, how 'bout that. :crazy:

This is rather disgusting behaviour by software, I've never heard of anything doing anything like this accept for malware*.

Starforce enforces DRM by instant reboot (without warning)

*although Windows not being allowed to boot if you change certain hardware is close.

Nonsense, it's common knowledge that such things happen only to pirates and Very Bad People™.

Someone accuses StarForce of being a worm, spreading across partitions, and even network drives.

Also agrees with the previous article posted, from CDFreak, that StarForce runs all the time, not just when games are run.
