That's plain wrong.
Starforce admired in an interview at:
http://reclaimyourgame.com/
that a starforce version was a likely cause of windows failing to
recognise optical drives.
The class action case over IDE drives been put into a slower mode
was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. That would not have
happened with out some good evidence. Very slow speeds have
caused ophysical errors in some, but not all, CD drives.
The enforced reboots without chance to save your work is also
admitted by starforce (although not present in current SF versions).
