I'm one of those "legitimate" users...
Who bypasses the protection scheme so I can play my games without the copy protection.

It's annoying, especially those stupid keys you have to put in for what? I can understand the need if it has online play like Diablo 2 or WoW or something. So as to check you're not copying it and people aren't duplicating your accounts.

But to have keys for games does exactly what? Absolutely nothing. It's just another nuisance to customers like me.
