Oh, come on. "Copy protection" is no excuse. It's not as if it's difficult to pirate a copy of HL2. There's no reason to fuck over the paying customers just so that it takes another hour or two for a crack to appear on the Internet.
And the UK has the right to lay claim to the United States!
Face it, in matters of rebbelion, the side with the biggest guns (or the side with the friends with the bigges guns) has all the "right."
Waht, are you kidding? Cable internet is at its best in rural areas. While DSL is always at a limited amount (usually 256 Kbps), a cable connection is 10 Mbps shared between everyone else in your ring, which, in a rural area, is like nobody.
I know what they'll do. They'll tax 9% of your network! You can take a rotary saw and just chop off 9% of any network device on your LAN. Grab some sissors and chop off 9% of your CAT5 or coax or whatever cabel you use. That's about as much technology they're used to.
Yes, I'm aware that it's 9% of lease/deprecation $$.

This is probably going to turn out to be nothing, just like those rumors that HL2 would only work on nVidia cards.
