StarForce: The Gang Who Couldn’t Shoot Straight (Allegedly)
Bill Harris posted a fantastic, scathing bit on the ineptitude of StarForce (from both a design and PR standpoint). Excuse me, alleged ineptitude. I wouldn’t want to be sued, after all (read the link). Anyway, it makes for a good follow-up from my post last week for those of you who just can’t read enough about how impossibly bumfuddled (allegedly) a company can be. (And hey, who can’t get enough of that?) Actually, it’s also got more food for thought for anyone who thinks StarForce offers an important service for publishers trying to stem the tide rampant piracy.
…It’s worth noting that I nearly vomited all over my keyboard just putting “StarForce” and “important service” in the same sentence. Maybe if I run to the bathroom and brush my teeth I can cleanse the taste of bile from my mouth.
