So what's the solution?

Companies will keep coming up with solutions like that to stop piracy, and honestly it does sound like a wonderful idea, since only the most patient and experienced computeruser would try to remove it...

I feel kinda the same way when cd's i buy only play on my computer if i install some screwed up player... I mean come on! I have winamp already... If it the cd really is such a pain, then I'll just download mp3's as well...

I have no idea how the music business can believe they are doing themselve a favour here.

I really want to believe that the industry is shooting itself in the foot, but I'm afraid they're not, since most computer users probably wont have the patience or the skills to circumvent such malicious software as starforce or whatever else there is out there...
