I believe the only reason King Kong has the warning on it is because now they realize there is potentially a problem and they are just covering their asses!
With the warning, they now add to the box, nobody can argue in court that they were not told of a protection being used. But as you say they still dont mention it is actually starforce!
With so many complaints and petitions, circulating on the internet now, I believe it is only a matter of time before something drastic happens. Whether or not this will actually stop publishers from using Starforce remains to be seen?

Now that warning gives people a strong reason to return their starforce games for a refund! All they have to do is say it conflicts with their drives and wont work! After all we should not be expected to buy new hardware just to run a game! This argument could actually go 2 ways though as some people buy new graphics cards just to play a newer game!
The shops would not be able to disagree as it states it on the box! The shops would have no choice but to refund your money!
If the shops have to keep refunding money then maybe they might stop stocking starforce games? So that is another way, if everyone purchases a game then returns it 2 days later for a refund!
As for you sticker idea, I like it!! I can just see myself doing that!
I havent purchased a starforce game for a very long time, and I feel the only game that I may really miss is Race Driver 3 (Toca). But even that wont persuade me to go through the hassles of installing a starforce protected game!!
I wont even download game demo's anymore until I find out for sure which protection is being used on it!!
Anyway keep boycotting and stay PC safe.
