@nerva
Unfortunately that link has no date on the page! I have read that before and it could refer to any version of Starforce? I assure you the later versions of Starforce is a whole new ball game!
Of course Starforce are not going to tell you openly about the hidden fuctions of thier protection!
A Quote from the first paragraph from that site:

Those drivers are necessary for the StarForce specific CD/DVD checking procedure, only. They do not include any hidden functionality. The drivers are active only at execution of the protected application.

If they do not include any hidden functionality and are only active at the execution of the application then why is it then you can now no longer read the dpm info from your other CD's!! So by installing the latest Starforce Protection you will be prevented from performing a function you were able to do before. In my opinion, and I am sure many will agree, that itself is a hidden function! Nowhere do Starforce mention this!
Look many can argue we are only picking up a fuss because we cant rip of games anymore! I am self employed and earn very good dollars, I dont need to steal games! But I do like to be able to walk into a shop and purchase a game which will not cause havoc to my system!
What we are trying to do here is make people aware that all is not what it seems in the Protection industry!
Nerva, you say there is no backdoor function, well clearly none that you know of!
