What you said was amazingly insightful to me. There are three types of people. Honest people that'll always buy games. Pirates. And people that become pirates if there's no DRM at all. Since we will never stop a Pirate, you should worry about the third category. Disc-check DRM is all that we really need. (With an optional, more complex Steam style validation for netbooks or people that hate discs) For the record, I'm pro-DRM, for the purpose of protecting works, but against most current implementations.

My greatest fear in life is forgetting important things - forgetting what makes me wake up every morning, forgetting the good in people, forgetting those close to me. I know some old people for whom I'd gladly shed off years of my life if it meant they could touch more people the way they touched me. Alzheimer's has always been the one thing that I've prayed they could avoid. So, I ask you Slashdotters - do you know of any way I can help here? Can I donate money to this cause somehow? What can _I_ do?
