I'm new here, what's all the fuss over Starforce anyway?

Starforce is a protection system that uses a needlessly intrusive set of Drivers to protect the designated game from being copied and distributed illegally. The early SF Drivers impacted a small number of computers by reducing, and in a few cases preventing the CD and DVD burning ability of other applications. The latest SF Drivers are much better at doing the job they were originally designed to do, without intruding beyond the scope of the game they are are there to protect. It's true to say that it's relatively easy to defeat SF if you know what you're doing, but in all honesty, with the latest Drivers there really is no issue, other than the subjective issue of whether such Drivers should ever be installed on a computer.
