There is no copy protection on the planet that hasn't been cracked. Anyone can download games (cracked) from millions of places. Copy protection doesn't stop the trading and sharing of games.
The only thing copy protection does is cause problems for the people who buy the game. Since the copy protection will sometimes prevent a ligit user from being able to even play the game. Copy protection like StarFroce doesn't even stop people from pirating the game, but the ligit purchasers end up having problems with their CD-ROMs not working, their computer security being comprimised so they catch more virii... the end user gets spied on by the people who made StarForce...
Mean while the people who pirate the game don't have to worry about their CD-ROMs now working, being spied on, and the like since the game has been hacked/cracked.
I mean, do game companies REALLY think copy protection helps their sales?
Pirates play for free while I buy a game and it doesn't work!
Why do they do it?
