Periodic online verification? OK, can understand that.

No off-line play mode between repeat verifications?
Really, really stupid and insufferably intrusive (what a lovely piece of alliteration ).

p.s. pirates are thieves, pure and simple. One big problem is that nobody EVER reports people they know to be pirates. There's an odd moral code that says "when a friend breaks the law they don't really break the law". It's not a code to which I subscribe, but this sort of 'tribal thinking' is a significant root cause of many injustices i.e. it is inherently in conflict with the concept of a rule of law in which all are equal.

Phew. Off the soap box now....
Well articulated, Steeltrap...almost prosaic.
