You are a complete moron who does not have any clue on how business works. I bet some Evenbalance toad paid you to come to wikipedia to defend their pathetic honor. When you buy a product you are exchanging your money for the full use of the product in question. You cannot tell somebody that they may not be allowed to use what they have purchased, and this includes the RIGHT to use Punkbuster because the software is on their copy of the CD. Period.  
 For example, YOU are basically saying that someone who walks into Bestbuy can buy a music cd, but they may or may not be able to listen to all 17 tracks on the disc. Or for another, you are saying that you can go get a 52inch HD LCD, but it's possible that your dish or cable provider won't let you get HD Channels on that TV you just bought, just because it's a Sony brand, and they just don't like Sony. 
 This isn't how it works, idiot. Just because it's the INTERNET and a video game doesn't give it any less credibility for consumer use. 
 Care to retort? I didn't think so.
