Yup the whole idea behind Valve incorporating Steam as an authentication program was to try and eliminate downloaded copies of the game and hacks/exploits.

I'd like to see Valve sue Microsoft for making a shoddy product that didn't work as advertised.

Valve is hot on the trail, supposedly 2 CounterStrike clans are blaming each other for the leak

http://www.myg0t.com is one clan, they pride themselves on tk'ing and hacking

here is an interesting thread albeit 32 pages long
