S!
Pie Rats will always pirate and buyers will buy. This is what the game companies should get. They shouldn't be trying to sell the game to the pirates by force(DRM), because they will not buy, no matter what. No DRM to date has worked against the pirates. Buyers on the other hand have to suffer the negative effects.
Some companies like Paradox Interactive have actually gotten this and they don't have copy protection on (most of) their games.
Another disappointing trend is the lack of demos. People actually have to pirate games in order to test them out.
EDIT: Just to point out, Steam doesn't work against pirates either. Torrent sites are packed with non-Steam versions of games.
