I actually did check out the FAQ, and noticed that it says "No-CD/DVD" means it "removes the copy protection as well as the CD/DVD-check". And the PMW2 downloads from GCW are labeled as "No-CD", so that's why I thought they were cracked. But now I know if it mentions StarF*cker or StarForce Nightmare, then it's not cracked.

BTW, Joe - what do you think of having Securom 7 installed on your machine? I'd like to try PMW3, but then I found this page which makes Securom 7 sound as bad as StarForce:

Damn, then there is a discrepancy between the terminology of the main site and the FAQ. Please, drop me a PM (or E-mail), reminding me to improve the description in the FAQ. Also, if you find some more then report those, too.

SecuROM 7 is not always running unlike StarForce; that's the major difference and that's why you shouldn't be afraid of or picky about the former as the latter. Yeah, yeah, I hate to have bullshit drivers on my PC, too, and frequently delete them manually - yes, potentially useful (but currently unused) ones, too! - but it's not that bad...

You got it wrong: this article is about the problem of online authentication and not SecuROM in general. And we absolutely agree with this: the PC Games forum FAQ also recommends against buying online authenticated games, if possible to avoid them (i.e. they are also released as good old CD/DVD with media-based copy protection).
