Pac-Man World 2 not working on Windows 7 - due to Starforce, any crack available?

Any ideas whether DRM-free portals such as gog.com might offer Pac-Man World 2 and possibly other titles published by Hit Interactive in the future?
The publisher does not seem to exist any longer but the original franchise is property of Namco Bandai who have already added some of their (actually Atari's but it is now the same company) titles to their portfolio.
