Yes, well, it seems like only the best of the best games do well when it comes to piracy...UT2004 did well because it was so awesome and appealed to all the shooter fans...it probably got pirated plenty as well.
Steam does pretty well against pirates...you don't see torrents of TF2 all over the place...so there are ways to prevent piracy to some degree.
edit: I searched mininova.org for Spore torrents and the first 4 results added up to about 8000 seeders, 20k leechers; the first 4 Crysis torrents added up to about 1500 seeders, 2400 leechers; and the first 4 results for TF2 (a more popular game than Crysis now) added up to 7 seeders, 19 leechers...there were no more seeders after that...so they're doing something right...why not more protection like Steam?

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
