Destroy your PC and receive $1000 from StarForce (thanks Andrew) is an offer from the copy-protection maker in an effort to combat what they feel may be unfounded rumors about their software:

There have been a lot of rumors in the Internet concerning DVD/CD writers malfunction after installation and star-up of StarForce protected applications. Some have even mentioned that should such “malfunctioning” drive be placed in any other PC without StarForce protection installed it will fail to work as well.
...
After the installation and start-up of StarForce protected product the problem with (CD/DVD read-write malfunction) must exist and be reproduced in any other configuration.
If you can be the first to reproduce this situation in our office, we will be happy to award you with $1000.00 US, cover your trip to Moscow and pay 2 days’ lodging.

First off I BUY every game I play but as soon as I install the game I always try to find a NoCD patch. I've noticed that NoCD patches are becoming more and more scarce lately. It's becoming so tedious to start a game without the CD that I have just been giving in and putting the disc in the drive all the time. StarForce is being used now more than ever and it is the reason why NoCD's are so scarce. If a StarForce game actually gets 'hacked' it usually takes a long time from the game's release that this happens. So basically, saying "DON'T BUY GAMES WITH STARFORCE" is like saying "Don't buy most of the new games released."
