moron. copy protection is there to deter piracy which means more people buy their games which means their games stay at a reasonable price. if there were no star force and such everyone would copy the game and to even make a profit the game companies would have to start charging 10-15 dollars more per game. now tell me that copy protection hurts the consumer when it keeps the price the same. also, the only reason copy protection causes you trouble is because you want to play the games you dont own. i can tell you with 99% assurance that if you didnt do anything to your system and you use NO cd cracks, every game in the market with copy protection will work, be it out of the box, or beyond no more than a simple patch from the manufacturer. sorry but it's the truth.
