Answer to all questions: Steam
You connect, verify its your account with the game, you play, you loose internet, steam friends has a hissy fit, you continue to play, internets back, nothing changed.
Steam, while everyone hates it for the faults, its still one of the of the best Digital Content Distributing system out there. I, myself only buy on Steam or if on disc that Steam accepts the key (MW2). Steam is the safest way to game and the most reliable (more or less). Seeing as STEAM_ID's help prevent piracy by contacting the Steam servers to verify its a legit ID and not bypassed or faked.

well i haven't but main reason being would be that most people will notice that they can get a far better product from tpb or isohunt compared to the retail version because when they have very restrictive drm schemes like this it turns away people who actually wanted it from buying it.
and it was already proven by spore that restrictive drm only raises that amount of pirated games.
and if i actully did buy it, it would be completely useless to me i olny go home every week or 2 and am mainly useing pretty dodgy wifi in between.

I haven't bought Spore, Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, C&C 3, or really any other major game by EA Games or Ubisoft because of DRM. I refuse to buy crippled software, often bundled with rootkits that disable my virtual disk drive programs, which I use to play legal backups.

It hasn't been cracked yet and probably never will be.

it has been cracked it is just a more involved crack, but there are apps that spoof the authentication server.
There isn't a fully working crack yet. What your probably thinking of is the non-scene crack that doesn't work.

And we never notice..... :scared:
You know what, I have purchased 4 legitimate copies of Warcraft III. 2 upon release and 2 more later down the road. I recently tried to reinstall it, and couldn't find my keys, so I go "looking" for some. 
I'm not an exceptional "looker" but I was unable to find any. I think to myself, it was game of the year, hundreds of thousands of people played the game, but no keygens exist? I'm impressed! Now, I look around for 2 minutes and have found 98% of ubisoft's titles with keygens and cracks.
Valve is my second example, and I think that speaks for itself.
Moral: It's possible to prevent piracy without using DRM or a similar system.

Lets get off the piracy here guys...threads gonna get locked soon....
Yes, westwood!#$
The thread is regarding anti-piracy measures. My post is on topic, and it does not support piracy in anyway. I'm actually supporting successful ways to prevent piracy without ruining the gaming experience of the majority of legitimate players.

Very good point actually.
I think Valve has a very secure system at the moment. Theres no cracks or anything that are allowing people games for free.

very true if you make a good product like valve or blizzard and treat your customers right piracy is not an issue because people actually want your products and are proud to pay for them.
