Star Force Copy Protection
Stardock...Makers of Galactic Civilization II

An employee of Starforce posted a link to an illegal Warez download of Stardock's game "Galactic Civilization II". The employee posted the link because in his mind, Stardock was just begging to have their stuff pirated. If they didn't want their stuff pirated they would have put some form of copy protection on the disk (probably Starforce).

Sounds a little like the mafia with the whole "protection money" racket. Either you allow us to copy protect your software, or we'll make sure that we get it out to as many people as we can, since you obviously don't care about it being pirated.

Tycho over at Penny Arcade has a much more intelligent and well versed post about said subject that I will now direct you to. I pretty much agree with the entire post.
