Yes because your team of lawyers is much better than valves

Update: It is still possible to play on cs steam without buying the game

If they accidently banned legit keys, most likely all of them would have been disabled.

They ban keys to try to keep pirates from stealing the game. Banning one account wouldn't ban everyone

Sometime when your right, you dont need a team of lawyers. It can be as easy as-"your ripping him off in this case." There have been many cases where a individual beat a corp. in court.

"aa.. i got it all working... they enabled my account. I know u can play CS:S... "

That good, glad they stuck it out and helped ya. But took them long enough!

"They ban keys to try to keep pirates from stealing the game. Banning one account wouldn't ban everyone"

Like alot of other co's they arent banning "one" key. But key sets that have been thrwoing flags. Point is -say a keygen reproduced your valid key from a game you bought. Now again it happens. You have 3 keys the same on steam! Guess what, it gets turned off. Now the valid user is burnt. This is where you have to fight withthem, prove you own the game and get it reactivated. Or get a new and possibly have it happen again. Just bad luck really.
