essentialy someone points out to starforce that draconian (stardocks word) methods of copy protection simply isnt needed and that sales of gal civ have far exceeded expectations without intrusive protection methods, in reply starforce link to torrent of that programme saying how such torrets will harm sales.
it all seems a bit dodgy to me and the joke of starforce being a strongarm of the russian mafia suddenly seems a bit less funny.
