Those idiots - the managers, not the developers! - at Starforce should wake up, once and for all...

In parallel with biology, and similarly to the effect of gene-manipulated food, it is very hard - and would take a lot of work: money and time! - to prove without doubt that the failure of a hardware or software component in a computer can or cannot be attributed to this or that other component in the same computer (or its close environment, e.g. other computers in the LAN), in our case: namely Starforce.

It is not a surprise that many are against gene-manipulated food, even if they don't know whether it causes cancer or other illnesses or not: 1) the manufacturers of gene-manipulated food don't know for sure either and 2) food problems can be solved in other ways, as well.

So, what's the problem with complaining about a copy protection without provable presence (on our side) or absence (on the developer's side) of bugs, when the real problem is that has gone too far ([edit] read: too low level; compare genes with low-level drivers) and the same problem could be solved in other ways that have less potentially bad consequences for the customer?
