Licurg: What's lame about it ?
Neobr10: Using DRM as an excuse to download free games. It's stupid and it doesn't help the "DRM-free" movement in any possible way, it actually makes things worse because it gives publishers reasons to come up with more draconian DRM methods to stop piracy (like always-online).
Also, this falls into the "two wrongs make a right" fallacy:
"This fallacy involves the attempt to justify a wrong action by pointing to another wrong action. Often, the other wrong action is of the same type or committed by the accuser, in which case it is the subfallacy Tu Quoque. Attempting to justify committing a wrong on the grounds that someone else is guilty of another wrong is clearly a Red Herring, because if this form of argument were cogent, one could justify anything―always assuming that there is another wrong to point to, which is a very safe assumption."
http://www.fallacyfiles.org/twowrong.html The way I see it, by boycotting or pirating games with DRM, we'll eventually force the bastards to either give in or go bankrupt . What's so wrong about that ?
Besides, the way things are going, Steam's gonna be a monopoly soon. Unless we do something about it...
