Providing wrappers in the aim to fake the copy protection is also not
legal. If a copy protection system is faked by something that is not
intended to have this result (partial implementations, bugs, api
changes...) and the license is not restricting the use of the copy
protection with this kind of systems is legal.

you speak about license, but most of them are invalid.

So from an worldwide legal vision, the use of cracks or anything made
to fake a security device (may it be for compatibility) are illegal. If a security system is faked accidentally in a use compelling with
the license of the product and of the protection system, then I think
no country can consider it as illegal.

I wouldn't count on that.

Creating (or trying to) create a 1:1 implementation of the software /
driver / kernel layer used by starforce to detect a real cd and
having some fake positives and some fake negatives due to errors
*might* be seen as legal if it complies with the starforce license
and the one of the product using it.

have you an example of a product with a license forbidding this?
