Well don't take it too harshly when I tell you I don't feel for your loss. A friend of yours lost a DVD Drive and you lost your burn capabilities, temporarily I might add...
Well my friend that's tough.
But before you go on a cruade such as this I would ask that you consider, I have had to do a complete reinstall of my OS, and throw out a perfectly good Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disk because StarForce ceased the Idle Spin and ruined several sectors including the part with the MBR(Master boot Record) I attribute this to StarForce's software based on looking at the RAID Drive's Log and found Cease\Term Sig:StarForce Enviroment Protection Driver. I have since replaced the effected parts(not cheap) and moved on with my life.
Ocassionally letting others know of the problem I had with it.
So I say to you /AGAIN/ before you continue this Crusade of yours. consider, your problem was minor compared to my own and note that you don't see me telling everyone to BEWARE! I know tons of people who never had a problem and several who have had similar to the problems you describe. A Total problem such as what I expierianced, well... I have yet to meet someone who shares it.
Which means its a slim chance and perhaps more related to my system config then with just StarForce.
The issue about StarForce containing rootkits is moot, because in my opinion StarForce in itself is a DRM>*edit: It's late.
