From a Kotaku article (linked here), the "copy-protection" geniuses at StarForce have come out in the open claiming that people who oppose their invasive, authoritative copy protection schemes - ones that install and run themselves as administrators, and can reboot your computer on a whim if it doesn't like what you're doing - must be members of organized crime or CD/DVD piracy rings. If you'd like to see what games use StarForce, there's list at http://www.glop.org/starforce/list.php which covers every game currently known to use StarForce's DRM.

EDIT: Oh, did I forget to mention that StarForce can physically damage your optical drives?

Reminds me of a spam I once got that had a postscript saying if I was against advertising on the wonderful world of the Internet, I supported the terrorists and was part of Osama bin Laden's organization.
