I've used Stardock's Impulse a little bit and while I can't comment on all games on it, the 3 I have it works quite well. You can tie a license key to an account, however I have installed and played 2 of the 3 offline never connecting to the internet to play or install, simply by entering the license key in the normal installation. Then I can then tie it to Stardock Impulse which will automatically tell me about updates and help me install them. To register it with Impulse I simply entered the license key again with the online component. In fact Impulse recognized that I had the game installed and asked me if I wanted to add it into the system.
Also, I can then log into stardock impulse on any other computer and it will allows me to re-download and install the game on that one as well. Well I've only done it for one so far, Sins of a Solar Empire, so again I can't comment for all games.
In fact, I play offline all the time and only fire up Impulse (I haven't needed to run it to play the games) when I check for updates.

Is this the game? I just chose an online retailer, there are probably brick and mortar stores.
This is the company that makes the above one:
I don't think so.
Even if fined or charged by a federal/state/provincial body I think the victims are still allowed to attempt civil charges against the company (please correct me if I am wrong).
Although that $50 million fine will probably "wipe out" all their assets so they have nothing left to pay the victims.
They didn't buy it for him.
He bought it himself and when they found out they tried to take it away, and he killed them for it.
At least that is what I remember from the initial story on Slashdot a little bit ago.
