Anti-piracy is by far the most annoying part of buying any computer game. As a paying customer if i buy a PC game i am now forced to go through all sorts of jumps and hurdles and be required to be constantly online. If my internet connection goes down, i can no longer play most games.

If i was to illegally download the same computer game, i would not have this problem. Punishing paying customers isn't a good way to stop them from taking the easier, cheaper option.
