with online multiplayer games I always ddump and daemon them on my hard drive which is a holy hell pain in the ass and a sacrifice of hard drive space but less of a pain in the ass than dedicating a piece of hardware to a piece of software.
there HAS to be a better way. the time limited cd check isn't great but it's certainly better than nothing. you could also make a random check like once every 10 times someone fires up the game for the first 4 months.
this still wouldn't keep me from copying my legit purchases to my hard drive but it would ease the pain for some who don't go through this ugly process.
