If you have a DVD burner, Starforce can prevent you from burning DVD's. many case of this have been reported, and the creators of Starforce deny it happens.
Thier answer is, "If you can bring us a computer which shows the problem they will fix it."
Keep in mind, they are in Russia, and no one has wanted to go the effort to ship thier computer to Russia just to prove a point.
Aside from the burner issues, it is software which does replace system files. As such, there should a warning on the box of any product using this software. There is no end of possible issues which can stem from the replacement of system files.
I think it is utterly irresponsible for a software company to use any copy protection scheme without warning its end users. Unfprtunately, the basic Windows user mentality is such that most people are ok with system files being replaced.
And it is not paranoid to want to protect your computer from invasive products which alter the way your computer was intended to work. I too have crossed off any Sony or Starforce protected content from my purchase list.
