The only piracy I support is the one practiced inside Sid Meyer Pirates!, but Starforce is not the answer for software piracy. As a legal costumer I am suffering for the wrongdoings of others. After 3 Starforce games, two of them giving me serious problems (had to return them and spent quite a few hours around my system), I am going to give them a wide berth.
Besides, take for instance Paradox Entertainment, a small swedish software developer: to generate lots of money a game don't need to be protected at all... it just needs to be good.
Buy Europa Universalis 2 or Hearts of Iron 2 or Crusader Kings...
