Starforce=Evil; Ubisoft sued

Big B · 02-04-2006, 07:43 PM

DailyTech has a short article about Ubisoft being sued over the use of the controversial StarForce copy-protection software.

In its latest battles with end users, StarForce, famous for creating copy protection schemes that violated user privacy rights as well as causing notable system problems, has created a website called OnlineSecurity ON. A StarForce employee implies that OnlineSecurity ON is an independent security website (his quote has since been modified) which reviews and writes about software security.

I'm sure Sony knows what happens when you piss off the consumer like this. Hopefully the twits that came up with StarForce go out of business quickly. Link.
