And you seem to forget that, when the company goes down, that contract will become obsolete. Or is there an extra paragraph in the EULA saying that you may call the CEO in his house for technical support if the authentication servers go down for, let's say, an "unreasonable amount of time"? EULA's are especially known to disclaim all kinds of responsibility from the company!
Well, I see a need here to change the rules of the gcw. IF a company goes down or activation servers went down (is there any example yet?), cracks should be allowed which DOES circumvent online activation - because the activation is not possible anymore.

No piracy in these cases I think, because he company whos selling the software/game is no more...

Just 2 cents... And, in some way, the discussion here is obsolet. Talked about that a millions of time. Everyone hates the Biosshock protection. Very many people hate steam. Well, I also do. But, I am the owner of half life 2, bioshock and some others. Guess what? I hate myself for buying them, but I couldnīt resist playing them. If you can blame anyone for anything, than the fact that we couldnīt resist buying these titles. Period.

Well, tired and bad english... Above sentences may be awful. Thx for reading them anyway.

Good n8.

Edit: Sorry, somehow wrecked the qoute. Hope you may understand it anyway.

A good idea for the future.
