Chopin Trusty Balls
First casualty in the war on idioticy.
This kind of discusion usually walks on thin edge of ToS,so lets be careful
Starforce 3 technology is improving from game to game,SF3 creates unique protection pattern its nearly impossible to develop a universal no-CD patch(that would also weight like 20 Megs),TOCA2 hasnt been broken yet.Burning such CDs is exteremly complicated,the protection installs itself into drivers and detects any software like Alcohol and Daemon,the amount of work that needs to be done to get such game to work would be too much for most consumers.
Codemasters and CDV are allready using it in all of thier future full price games.Eidos,Activision and ATARI are considering jumping the wagon this Fall.
Such action combined with future stuff like DRM and TCPA would likely increase software sales in PC market noticably.
