If I think anything, it is that Starforce has already received so much negative publicity, and completely failed to give a satisfactory response, that it shouldn't be chosen to protect anything for that reason alone.

"Darling, it is not enough to be honest, you have to seem honest" - said Caesar, even if Starforce was harmless, they failed to address the public and answer the accusations properly, that interview was very superficial, I take good care of my discs but I once had a CD-ROM scratch deeper than that.

Couldn't be bothered. But your quote above is quite a bit different from the description of the law you provided, a description which struck me as amusing.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

Things don't actually work that way in real life.

I'm not jumping on the anti-SF bandwagon until I see some credible testing done by reputable sources. I have not experienced any problems with SF encoded games.

An off topic note, should anybody be aware of who is calling and making Death threats against Soulcommander and his family.

Please report information here: http://www.fbi.gov

The most recent call occured on his landline during a conference call on SKYPE. So it was overheard by myself and GT182. 03:57 Hrs GMT 16 February 2006.


Guys we know feelings are running high about this , but threatening a disabled guy and his family with phone comments like

"There will be dire consequences if you do not stop posting on the net" (That is the milder part which I can post here). is not the way to go about things and is a Serious Federal offence in the United States.

Just to remind peeps here Soulcommander has been trying to help end users and the companies involved with SF issues. To reach some sort of amicable compromise. I do not honestly believe that anybody here would condone these sort of actions against him or his family.

:o

I´m sorry to hear that. I hope he had the opportunity to record the call.

I believe so.

Heck many of us disagree with each other over SF but this is a serious situation. We are not just talking about flames or heated arguments on forums anymore. These are real death threats.

As some of you know, I know personally what it is like to be set up for assassination by Paramilitaries in Northern Ireland and was very nearly killed back in October 2002. So I know just how scary threats on your life can be.

I just want to add that our thoughts and support are with you Soulcommander.

@ ThirteenthHouR and his last two posts.

That's despicable, truely. :down:

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Ditto

Terrible news about Soulcommander :(

On a side note, if i run SHIII, use the SF removal tool, will SF reappear next time i run SHIII? Sorry if this is already explained in the thread.

Yes.

Bugger, sod that then.

I´ve just noticed that it apparently wasn´t the first time he was threatened by phone in regard to his anti-SF activities. How often had this happened before? When did it start? Was it always the same guy?

By the way, you should also post something on the Ubisoft forums, where he was undoubtedly much more active than here, and also on Glop.org and your site. There´s no information about this on these sites yet.

That is rediculous!!! Do you have the time they called? I'll you have to do is have your phone company find out who called you at that time and then relay that information on to the FBI.

Whoever made the calls will be found. They'd better be worried too as the authorities are now involved.

How many calls from how many different people were there?

As it's in the authorities hands and a part of the investigation, it can not be given out. So do not ask.

It would seem SF is the cause of stuttering in Falcon 4.0 Allied Force

Funny thing is there is nothing said about any copy protection being in Falcon 4.0 Allied Force. And, I have the box right here in front of me. Not installed but I do have it.

There isn't. Starforce was loaded by another app - its mere presence is what is causing the stuttering. Falcon 4 is copyprotect free. It is just that if Starforce is installed, you get some major stuttering problems when playing F4. Remove StarForce and all your problems go away.

Now this is a classic - pulled form one of the mods on StarForces board. Notice that no one is allowed to say anything negative about SF, and if they do have something bad to say, the mod tells them they are not allowed to post a link to outside websites that validate or back up that information - Lets all just bury our heads in the sand now!
