You seem to think TIME and DISTANCE play a part in the license agreement
you agreed to when you installed the software. I think you need to
read it again.
You may be authorized to install the software on multiple PC's, but you
are certaintly not authorized to run the software on more than one PC at a
time with out multiple licenses (CD Keys).

Hmm.. I didnt see the part about blood relatives in the license agreement
either...

Play a LAN game with him all day, knock yourself out. There is no need
for WON authentication for a LAN game so Valve/Sierra cant stop you. It
still breaks the license agreement though.

Just about everything Sierra sells now comes with a CD Key, including
Counterstrike.
Your arguments are ridiculous.
