Ubisoft Entertainment SA
A $5M class-action lawsuit is filed against the company for using the controversial StarForce DRM to protect their games against copying. It states that StarForce DRM can compromise Windows operating systems’ security and that users receive no notice that removing StarForce DRM is necessary to prevent possible security compromises on their computer systems. Also, removal of a StarForce-protected title from the computer does not always remove StarForce DRM software itself.
