From the sounds of it Steam sounds like a fair DRM system. I don't have anything against the principle of DRM itself - as long as it's implemented in a way that is fair to both consumers and content providers. Most DRM "solutions" are laughably unfair on the customers. Another good example of DRM - if you can call it that - is the Pragmatic Programmers ebooks. They just include the customer's name in the PDF file and then dont impose any restrictions on the file itself.
