One is not Amused
Just having a bimble about the net and bumped into these pages about sony and ubisoft amongst others.
The sony one seems really nasty if not downright against the law.

The ubisoft one is similar but is that badly written it can knacker your dvd cd drives up.

I had the starforce one on my games machine but I must have been lucky , I didnt have the sony one on either.
This all may be old hat to those of you who keep up to date with this stuff but it was brand new to me today.
Anyway just thought Id share .
Oh and this is the sony implications for warcraft and other game hacks.
