I don't mind the CD-check things that I can easily get a no-cd fix for, but I object to paying for something and having to download a workable copy. Apart from the dubious legality of downloading a pirated copy even if you have a retail copy, I'd rather avoid buying it and playing it altogether, hoping that enough people will do the same and they will get the idea that offensive DRM doesn't work.
In my opinion, since this episode shows that its not just PC versions that can get put up on the web, and that the version wasn't even released yet, it should indicate to everyone that DRM is entirely ineffective, especially as r.u.s.s. says, everything can be cracked.
Unfortunately, some companies will take the opposite line, and continue with restricted use software as with Bioshock and Spore.
