Starforce Petition!

[Qgal5kap]

Today I decided it was time to do a little spring cleaning on my harddrive,
as it was stuffed with way too much anime :-p

I stuffed a verbatim in my plextor PX-712A and started dragging media into Nero. When I clicked the burn button, I noticed the only speed it could record at was 2.3 X ??? like .. hellloo ? 2.3 x?? what is that ?

At this point I knew exactly what many of you reading this know by now ..

"Staaaaaaaarfooooorce!!!!! 3!!!!!"

I got this nifty piece of "MALWARE" from installing Toca Race Driver 3.

To resolve this issue I simply flashed my drive with a fresh ROM from plextor.
now it burns at 12x again :-D

I was not actually buying into the whole starforce fucking up my hardware idea, but now, as it has happened to me and my mate, both using plextor...

There no longer exists doubt in my mind that starforce does all the bad things people say it does. It's time we, the end users draw the line. We must and cannot accept to be treated this way.

what can I say ... let's sue the remaining publishers for using starforce,
especially codemasters, since they made such a good race game,
and packed it with starforce. On a second note it might be unfair to sue them over money, since using starforce cuts back on sales anyway. I suggest we sue, and demand they do some proper market research, before money hungry bosses and shareholders decide what the proper protection software to be used is. I guess even codemasters should hire me or another throughbred nerd as their "ethical supervisor" not the monopoly man!!!
lol
...

Qgal5kap out ...

Here u can find many answers to your problem with starforce protected games.

Not everyone here is a pirate but I feel treated as one when I encounter a Starforce title

Yes, me too boycotting Starforce games as well.

I wonder if those companies that have dropped starforce will release patches to remove it from those titles that were protected by it?
