Eagle Dynamics has announced their intent to use StarForce copy protection for DCS: Black Shark. Now that the initial announcement has been made, here is the SimHQ position on the topic.

It is important to openly discuss the topic as it is an important issue to simulation fans.

SimHQ will have one designated thread in the DCS: Black Shark forum that discusses copy protection and StarForce.

Please direct all commentary and discussion to this thread:
http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2602363#Post2602363

Any post outside of that thread will be moved to the thread or outright deleted.

While SimHQ will allow open discussion, participants in the discussion should refrain from personal jabs and insults at other posters, and slanderous comments regarding the developer. Members should use the Forum Use Agreement as their guide to what is acceptable. Please debate the topic, not the other posters.

SimHQ will not endorse or disclaim the choice of copy protection for Black Shark. That is the decision and responsibility of each individual. Within the SimHQ Staff there are the same varied opinions on the topic as there is in any forum.
