In the FAQ, Valve mentioned that they're working on something to battle
this.  My guess is that they'll probably try to track the patterns of people
who start to do this, so the system can quickly recognize those same
patterns in the future and be a little more proactive instead of reactive.
 I think Steam Guard could help a little here, too.  IP addresses can easily
be changed, new free accounts can be made, etc...  But Steam Guard is tied
to your PC so it could(maybe) be used to verify clients on your server.
 People only have so many PCs they can use.

Either way, I'm sure we'll be filled in on the details as soon as Valve has
something to announce.
