Maybe SI could take a leaf out of Trackmania's book, and only require the CD for validation every few days? When you insert the CD, you're free to run the program as often as you like for the next few days, and then it requires the CD for re-authorisation.
Just... do it without the Starforce. :thdn:
That would be... horrible. </BLOCKQUOTE>
I wasn't saying it's the best solution for legit consumers such as us: It is worse than not requiring the CD at all, but it's better than SI's current solution of requiring the CD every time you start the program.

I truly doubt the "requires CD to play" is more annoying for pirates than genuine customers. But for some reason companies all over the world seem to think it's fine to put practices in place to annoy people who've bought the game in order to stop people pirating the thing for all of about 5 miniutes.
It would be nice if the boxed version came with some sort of online validation method.
Couldn't agree more. I usually download movies, but the other night took the unusual step of renting a DVD. I got all nostalgic when the "Piracy is theft" thing came on, I haven't seen that for ages.
It's amazing that the only people who see the warning against piracy are the ones who have either bought or rented it legally.
