It's obvious to me. The CD requirement is to validate our right to run Steam itself. You see, some gamers really enjoy that part of the experience. It's the most challenging part of HL2, it has about the same playtime as Ravenholm, and I still haven't solved the riddle of "WHYOHWHYMYGODHEEELP!?!" Valve wouldn't want people madly copying and running it on systems for free!
Such a steaming load it is.
