I'm sure Starforce is used.

Will there be multiplayer in the demo?

Because I will not bother if it does.  My money, my decision.

Some people claim that starforce has hosed their system.  Others, riding on
the waves of dissention only, refuse to use Starforce.  These people say it
is an invasion of one's privacy.  Personally, I think it's a bunch of bunk.
Some group started this backlash against Starforce and now everyone has to
jump in and take a ride.

Starforce has never hosed my system, and I can think of a lot of more
serious invasions of privacy than some silly copy protection scheme.

When the GTR2 Demo comes out tomorrow, please leave me enough bandwidth so
that I can get the thing.  :)

On a properly built and configured PC you wouldn't even notice starforce.

Well, not really official, but looks like Starforce is out!

I can't say I'll miss it. :)

Starforce installs completely un-necessary drivers at Ring-0 of the
operating system.

That alone is enough for me to pass.

And I don't care who you are, THIS is downright scary...

I say, that is scary.  Almost like being in Beruit these days, with bombs
threatening your very existence.

Still, I don't always do what is right when it comes to software and haven't
had any out-of-the-blue system reboots.  I think a lot of this is simply
nonsense, like how Norton wants everyone to think that viruses are as common
as Pepsi Cola.

Lots of people care. I, for one, won't buy it if it has Starforce. GTR
now collects dust since I found out the truth about Starforce.
