That's only true if the publisher chooses to use DRM.

A meaningless distinction when none of the games you bought can’t be launched without Steam.

It's important to know who the bad guys are and what are the tools they use. We (gamers) should be focusing on the DMCA and publishers that use DRM. DRM providers are a simptom of laws that allow people to be screwed, not the problem it's self.
