I personally have never had any problems with games protected by Starforce.
However, the two games I have with Starforce copy protection on them, I acquired and installed before I had any knowledge of their "side-effects". Their drivers have since been uninstalled, and no further games with their form of protection have been bought/installed, ever since I found out about their hardware "issues".
I suppose the way I put it in my original post it sounded like this was a new thing for me, not buying their crap. It isn't, and I've edited for clarity
