But it would be so worth it.

Keep in mind, obvious trap is obvious. Too much trolling and you give
away they've been caught. It would seem Garry did just enough to
trick the user into thinking it was a legitimate error so that they'd
report it.

I just think he should have gone a little further to troll the user.
Maybe crash garrys mod and force-open this URL:

Bad form Garry.

Perhaps you should have considered having a 200+ step process
to 'fix' the problem, which involves reinstalling windows
among other things to waste even more of their time.

Exactly right.
A lot of sites are reporting that people get banned from
Steam - this
isn't true. (How's that going to work?)

To be slightly more detailed than Rodrigo and Tobias
were:
According to Garry's Blog, the DRM is a simple "call
home", which I presume
sends the 64-bit SteamID to one of Garry's servers,
which in turn checks to
see if they are valid license owners of Garry's Mod,
if not, send back a
"PIRATE" signal, which then causes the engine error.
Thanks,
