Mind you explain this? I don't think I actually understand your point. Maybe some examples? To me it seems that if just one guy defies his laziness and puts his sollution on the web, then anyone can lazily download and use it thus pirating on a mass scale.

That's obviously not the main point of MMOs - it's to compete, play with others or any other kind of enjoyment anyone can get out of it. DRM happen by the way in such a case. I meant games having single player and bought with the primary goal of playing them in this mode.
