A while back, we reported that Ubisoft dropped the anti-piracy protection software, StarForce, due to the flood of angry consumers with legitimate copies being affected right alongside those who were trying to pirate the games. Now it looks like the next major player utilizing StarForce, CDV, plans on dropping their licensing of StarForce as well. Citing the reason as being consumer demand, CDV had this to say about the new copy protection scheme that they will be using:

“We believe that TAGES will provide a sensible balance between protecting CDV’s intellectual property rights against piracy, while at the same time minimizing the restrictions experienced by legitimate owners of our products,” explained CDV’s Chief Technology Officer, Teut Weidemann.
