Starforce Evil Copy Protection

[D-Bone]

Take a look at this pure evil...Now, Futuremark has uncovered a very dangerous anti-piracy system Starforce is now using. This copy protection system installs a driver that runs at the highest level of access on the system, which gives it low level access to the PCs hardware and any drivers and processes. This driver runs regardless of whether the game runs; keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity such as attempting to copy a protected disc. If something suspicious is detected, it forces the PC to make an immediate reboot, regardless of any other applications running and whether or not the user has any unsaved work.

Thats just wonderful! I love software that people put on my computer and hide.
I understand that companies are doing this to protect themselves but it seems they dont take the end user who is playing by the books into consideration when they decide to take measures against the bad guys.
