Absolutely they should have bought the game if they're going to play it 
but I do have to wonder.  Is there any merit to the argument that people 
that might normally have bought the game, that might normally be averse 
to d-loading something for free are now getting so fed up that they're 
looking to d-load because of DRM?  I'd certainly be interested to see an 
independent study of that.
