Yeah, as Gnarf linked, they allowed for about 11,000 copies of Galactic Civ 2 to be downloaded illegally

Galactic Civilization 3 does not exist yet. Good thing you corrected that, otherwise they might find out that you downloaded that pirated alpha version of it before it was released. GalCiv2, however, is a spectacularly good game. Go buy it. Now. You won't regret it. It's better than Civilization IV.
As for StarForce, I shall refrain from further rants about the subject. Doing a search on my StarForce-containing posts will give you a few bits of information from me and other members.

Thanks for the links to the tools and the heads up, LZ! I haven't had time to see what's what there, just opened the pages but didn't get to read it all, but now I at least know where to look.

It's really awful that companies are doing this stuff and putting secret files on our machines that crash stuff!

i just bought galactic civ 2. i love it! especially the updates which you get from the "LEGIT" copy. Just make sure you update them because those updates and patches fixed up alot of stuff.

StarForce is such a stupid idea really. I mean it creates alot of problems for legit buyers that most of the ones they try to battle never will experience. :S

Anyway, read the glop forum well, the StarForce implementation vary between coutnries on the same game. Germany seems to like it alot :S.

Many US copies doesn't have it while EU version may have it etc.

Personally I am thinking about buying Galactic Civ just to support a company that skips all this copycrap to show my support. Worst thing is that I may have to become a HoMM player due to the massive campaigning against Star Force
