looks like the Steam web server has been nuked again. It's on HLFallout (http://www.hlfallout.net/) though
Yesterday, Valve disabled approximately 20,000 Steam accounts which had been used to try to access Half-Life 2 without purchasing it. The method used was extremely easy for Valve to trace and confirm, and so there is no question that the accounts disabled were used to try and illegally obtain Half-Life 2.
Accounts also may be closed due to fraudulent activity in an attempt to obtain additional products for your Steam Account. This includes Credit Card fraud, theft of accounts you do not own and using cracked versions of Valve games.
If you violate the Steam Subscriber agreement your account can be permanently disabled and you will lose any products registered to those accounts.
Also, a few myths floating around out there that need to be cleared up.
First, Valve did not put out any kind of fake key or fake warez or hack instructions to trap people. The hack came from the "community" as do they all.
Second, the number of people who actually had bought HL2 and used the CD key cheat was VERY small. VERY small. Most people just tried to rip off the game and not bother buying it.
If your account was used by your brother, your cousin, your friend or even your mom and they attempted the hack and now your account is now disabled, you should discuss this with them. If you wish to contact Valve about this issue, visit this support document for instructions.
20,000? Fo' shizo!

Ouch!

Good news indeed - software pirates "are teh suk" as they say.
Why people expect to be able to get commercial software for free, sometimes citing the old "it's not worth the amount they charge" baffle me - if it is not worth it then do not buy it!
So many people expect something for nothing, it is sad.
Especially for such a quality product.

They've nuked one of the methods, they've got 3 to go.
I bought it online straight from them wanted it Friday and was playing ti Friday night, thats the future of gaming IMO
