That's where all this filth is coming from. What would be best is to get the Gov't to boycott it and not allow it into this country.
You can still go after the game developers that use it though. Ubi got nailed for Causing damage to people's systems with that StarForce on it. Had I know about it I would've gotten involved in that suit. I've got a dead drive that will only read now because of it.
I will never buy a title with this invasive stuff hacked into it. Not ever. There is a legal firm that has specialized in thse cases. The same one that sued Ubi for the StarForce and won. Those are the guys to get. There is a legal precedent set for it now.
Unfortunately that's what it takes. After Ubi got nailed they pulled StarFoce. They just won't learn any other way. You gotta get an award that really nails them hard. Class action works well becasue we have power in numbers, and it wouldn;t cost a single inndividual a fortune and major organs to afford it.
The hard part has already been done. It's a long drawn out process, but there is precendents set now and they can use those in court. The Sony rootkit stunt was one of them, and the StarForce/Ubi suit was another, and there are myriads of others on the web. It's merely a formality now.
