The FiringSquad have thrown up their interview with the peeps behind the StarForce Copy Protection System!
Over the past few months there has been increasing debate and even furor over copy protection that is becoming increasingly invasive. It checks for CloneCD, Alcohol 120% and other utilities, and won't permit you to use them one way or another. One of the most notorious names is "StarForce" - supposedly difficult to crack, tough to remove, and all sorts of compatibility allegations fly around. So is it the "Great Satan", or simply another case of internet paranoia?
To help answer this, we went straight to the horse's mouth and now we have an exclusive interview with a company representative who provides responses to the allegations and also explains why the software works like it does. On top of that, Jakub delivers some commentary on the general subject of piracy.
