I answered the "Why?" on a previous comment.

And yeah, I do. I now understand that DRM-free does not mean you can share it with other people you know; it only means you can download it as much as you want on any of your PCs. That "DRM-free" does not stand for "A PC game with the sharing freedom of a console game (in a CD format)", which was the idea I had of this.

In other words, I now have a better understanding to what the P stands in PC.

Thank you all for the input GOGers! See you all on the Pirate B... ehr, on the forums.

I would take this to a tax/government qualification. If you qualify as a dependent in the household, you are part of the household, regardless if you are at work, on a business trip, hotel or other. So long as they aren't letting other people copy the game files/installer then it would be fine.

Depends on if you're playing single or multi-player games. And of course the price of the game. If the game cost $30+ and you wanted to do a MP game of say NWN, then i wouldn't consider that wrong although the DRM/Atari/Bioware would say otherwise. If the game is on sale for $5 or less, then there's no reason (unless you're dirt poor) that they can't buy their own copy;

For the single-player experience, yeah probably only one instance should be running at a time... Not that there's a good chance of me running most of the games i have...

If you hate a judge and you want him to die, you might try a lawsuit against a person who shared his games with his friends. He will have a heart attack immediately.

There shouldn't be a problem if you share it with your friends and not the whole www.

Not quite. It means you can, not that you're allowed to.

Or in other words: DRM-free means there's no technology (hardware or software) in place that tries to stop you from sharing - whether or not you're actually allowed to share still depends on what the license says. That's the licence's purpose regardless of the usage or not of DRM - DRM is basically a technological mean to try and make sure you follow the license (it's more complicated than that in reality, but that's a simple way to see it*).

* The basic meaning of DRM is to act as a technological mean to force you to act in accordance with the licence. However, it often fails (which is why I use "try") and can be bypassed (cracked), and it also at times tries to force you to a stricter path than the license holds you to (imagine, for example, a DRM system that limits you to 3 activations so you cannot ever reinstall the game more than 3 times without cracking, even on the same machine - despite the license not at all mentioning such a restriction, and thus allowing an infinite number of reinstalls).
