Oh Sony ... the folks that installed a root kit without telling anyone
on playing a music CD ... now I feel a lot better ...

It may have done so, and so do a lot of other things. I'd be willing to
wager that it's more of a problem with individual computer configurations
than it is with Starforce. But the problem has been over-blown, and most
have just jumped on, for whatever reason.

How many in a hundred do you think had a problem with Starforce? You'd
probably have to go to a thousand before you'd start registering numbers.
When people think their privacy is being compromised, it doesn't take long
before thousands feel the same way, without those thousands even looking
into what might be happening. Take my word for it, those who want to
compromise the privacy of others do so in much more nefarious ways.

If a person is so paranoid as to avoid a game because of starforce then that
person should NEVER connect to the INTERNET EVER!

Securerom7 sucks worse than SF ever did. Like Ive said over and over to all
the starforce activists. Thanks dum****s!

Many Starforce games have never been cracked to work without a cdrom,
GTR being one of them. If I can't get a crack for a game to run without
a cdrom then I don't wan't it. That should be a good enough reason for
any of you Starforce pussies.
