In 2006, the controversial anti-piracy company StarForce went out of the public eye after it was found that the the company's DRM was actually harmful to any PC playing a game crippled by it.
StarForce dug its grave deeper when it threatened to sue a blogger who criticized the company's DRM in public. The final nail was the unceremonious drop of the DRM for "alternative copy-protection systems" by Ubisoft just months later.
Today, Gamasutra has a great interview with the company, which appears is trying to make a comeback in the international market, 3 years after its demise.
Rather than paraphrase or cite their article, I will just link over there: Interview: The Return Of... StarForce?
Let us hope, for the consumer's sake, that StarForce has changed, for the better.
