cptpooface is on a distinguished road
I just read a bunch of pages on this topic but didn't finish all of them so I'm sorry if I repeat something that has already been said. It seems this topic is based on the legality of the protection. The companies could easily bypass this by adding a warning, I don't know who said it, but someone said Starforce should just have a pop-up that warns of its "side effects," along with this they should have to put something on the outside of the box, like system requirements they could state that your computer could not have certain programs, etc... By including all the information they could avoid any hassle. They would have to include all of the facts about Starforce. They would have to list every conceivable possibility, just like the pharmaceutical companies (this medication could cause heart explosion or brain aneuryism). The pharmaceutical companies have to do this because after many class action law suits they are legally liable. Until Starforce is beaten in court, and are forced to comply, they will never warn anyone of there program's shortcomings. Game companies also need to realize that if a game is good people will buy it. How many people bought GTA: San Andreas? And how many people could have pirated it? I'm not saying that a good game will never be pirated, but the majority of people who want it will buy it. If it's a quality product it will sell. In my opinion you are all justified in boycotting Starforce. Even if all they did was keep secret all the "extras" in their program, they should be liable. Unfortunately I don't think this petition will help much, like I said, if it's a popular game people will buy it. It seems you can't convince the masses.
