No.. Its a fancy version of SecuROM 7 plus the usual CD key ..But there are
"NO CD/DVD" cracks around allready.

User review given on Metacritic.com :
(snip)
"Kyle M. gave it a7:
I own both an xbox360 and a decently powered PC. I've had the 360 copy of
GRAW since release, and I decided to try the PC version out, as that was the
preferred multiplayer platform for many people I know (and I was mostly
interested in CO-OP). While the PC version is a good game, the polish is
somewhat diminished when being familiar with the 360 version of the game.
I'm aware that this was done by a different studio and with a different
engine (unsure why they didn't just change the compiling destination with
the supposed XNA dev kit), but there were many minor differences that took
away from the game (ie adding additional respawns in PC co-op, picking up
weapons of dead soldiers in PC co-op etc). A great game for sure, if i was
only familiar with the PC version I would have given this a score of 9,
however being familiar with the Xbox 360 version, I can only give it a 7. If
you have a 360, it's worth the extra $10 to pay for the console version."

If I ever intend to downgrade my PC to Xbox 360 specs, I'll keep that in mind.

That's no sign at all, why would they protect a demo ??

Quite a few Starforce protected games have Starforce protected demos. They
claim it helps reduce piracy because it prevents the pirates from getting a look
at the unprotected executable. Which hasn't stopped any Starforce protected
games from actually being pirated but that doesn't stop their endless production
of PR bullshit.

Where did you get these ?
Are they downloadable versions or some CD based demos
Both of those above have downloadable exe demos and I highly doubt
they have SF protection on them since SF works on your CD drive.

Again where did you get these demos that you claim have SF one them?

EVERY one I've looked up have downloadable EXE demos with no SF.
As far as I know you can't SF protect a down able exe demo.
