Actually, people are boikoting copy protections (Starforce) and not buying the game. They know they'll be screwed if they get a scratch on the CD and the company won't compensate them.
StarForce says: Game has to be (blah blah blah) in price (not cheaper); No more than 3 months old; You pay some amount of money for the replacement; Other sh*t, which I forgot; Who would want to risk all this? People can just find it, download it (not a CD, just an image) and play the heck out of it, NO SCRATCHES. That's why warez is so popular over the net. :whistle: |

The only 100% secure protection mechanism is one which prevents any use whatsoever, including legitimate. So long as you are able to play the game someone will be able to crack it. Quote:
DRM is starting to get out of hand and it's to the point that it's starting to do real, measurable harm to users (e.g. Sony's XCP). At the same time, rather than protecting the rights of the consumer most governments are making strides to not only protect the corporations, but to outlaw any effort of the consumer to protect themselves. |

Hellyeah, plix. But StarForce doesn't say how you can make your even legal copies. That's just ripping people (including me) off. :not_ok:
