I'm not sure why it wants credit card info from you but when I downloaded the Steam beta it was free, with no hassles. The code I gave it came from a key-gen program that takes your half-life cd key and spits out a code usable by Steam. This was a few weeks ago and it was all legal and sanctioned by Valve. Perhaps they've changed the process since then.
