This company creates StartForce, which used to be the best anti-piracy system available. Bad information, like the stuff below, eventually ruined it's reputation though. StarForce is not a rootkit. There is no evidence to support the opinion that it takes control of an Operating Syatem and locks the user out. Read the edit history of the StarForce page and you will see that there was never any point in time where malicious edits were made by SF employees. All of the bad edits made to the page were made by anti-DRM people. There is no evidence that StarForce messes up PCs (then again, with such a vague explanation, who can prove one side or the other). StarForce is not illegal software. There is no evidence to prove that StarForce stops CD drives from working. If your drive has been broken, much more likely is the idea that you bought something cheap with a short lifespan. My CD burner recently started giving me problems after I put a blank disc in. Must I now blame the destruction on blank CDs or the company that made them? I didn't think so! Seroiusly, spend some money on a new drive that won't break after 6 months and don't buy cheap garbage in future.

Viele bemängeln, dass das Benutzen von Kopierschutzmechanismen wie StarForce bestimmte Endbenutzer-Rechte, wie zum Beispiel das Recht, Sicherungskopien für den privaten Gebrauch anzulegen, verletzt. In dem Zusammenhang wird auch oft kritisiert, dass ehrliche Käufer des Originals mehr Probleme und Wartezeiten haben als Benutzer von gecrackten Versionen. Des Weiteren wurden und werden ausführliche Problembeschreibungen, kritische Anregungen und auch Fragen zum Kopierschutz in den offiziellen StarForce-Hilfe-Foren und einigen Ubisoft-Foren kommentarlos gelöscht, Threads bearbeitet und zensiert. Benutzer wurden ohne Warnung verbannt. Moderatoren von Ubisoft-Foren wurden aufgrund ihrer kritischen Stellung zu StarForce entlassen (Soulcommander, 13thHouR). Viele namhafte Autoren wurden aufgrund ihrer kritischen Artikel mit rechtlichen Konsequenzen und Androhungen seitens StarForce eingeschüchtert. Darunter Cory Doctorow von Boing Boing und Aaron McKenna von tomshardware.com. Am 5. März 2006 verlinkte ein Angestellter von StarForce in einem Forum zu einer illegalen Download-Quelle zum gerade erschienenen Spiel Galactic Civilizations 2 von StarDock. Das Beispiel sollte als Beweis für die Notwendigkeit eines Kopierschutzes dienen. Später hat StarForce eine Entschuldigung veröffentlicht. Mitarbeiter von StarForce haben in der englischen Wikipedia nachweislich mehrfach den Eintrag zu ihrem Produkt zu ihren Gunsten geändert. Wikipedia

There are many problems with the protection drivers of this label called "StarForce": After installing game which are published in the year 2005 and before, you get an alert which informate you to update the protection driver of StarForce. Well, there is still an update for WinVista avaible, but users of Win7 are confused, because they don't have any updates for this os. So you can't play games which are older than four years on Win7 - only because this stupid protection drivers. On Wikipedia there are lot of interesting information; for example, an man who works for this company, send links of illegal websites as an example why protection drivers like this one is important for game publishers. Other people who work for this company tried to change the text of Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure, that this company is a bad one. They don't protect anything. People who are using this game legally have sure more problems than other, who are using cracks for the "protected" games.
