1Up has confirmed that Ubisoft dropped malware copyright company Starforce like a bad habit. While Ubi was willing to admit they dumped Starforce, again, like a bad habit, they weren't really willing to say why.

When questioned Ubisoft representatives told 1UP, "Right now, Ubisoft has decided to use an alternative copy protection system to Starforce for upcoming releases and we are investigating other possible steps at this time." But why the change now? ... "Ubisoft takes its customer concerns very seriously and is investigating the complaints about alleged problems with Starforce's software. Ubisoft's goal is to find solutions for its customers if there are problems with Ubisoft products."

Now if only everyone else on the planet would follow suit the world would be a happier place and, I suspect, the cure for cancer would be found.
