What he means is that you can get games for free without Steam. So regardless of sales, you're still paying for something you don't have to.
Another thing. If people knew how to file convert, Apple would be out of business.

.Yeah I use steam for the Valve games only(even though I have them in standart editions). I've always been fan of a good piece of box art gracing my shelf even if it takes a walk down to the store. Seriously last game i bought was this

You can't compare the amount of stuff you are getting for the same price as the digital version. + (A limited edition of the Premium edition with a nice hard box with clean box art) True there are some sweet sales on steam but I prefer the physical box

And if you're among the other 9274 seeders or leechers, there's only a small chance you'll be picked. Fletcher was probably ignorant back then, so he payed the consequences. You just have to know what to do.

TalkTalk logs everything, oh wait, EVERY ISP logs everything, it just depends if you're unlucky enough to be picked out to be 'made an example of'.
Thankfully, it was just a verbal warning. Though in my defence I only torrented to see if things worked on my computer, had a really bad once back then.
First off, it's good that people who have money for games pay for them and support the devs.
However, if you don't have any qualms about pirating games, but want to remain completely safe from detection, and more importantly punishment, you should just use one of the more popular filehosters companies.
Personally, I use megaupload.com (costs 10 euros per month) which allows me unlimited traffic. Free & awesome forums like warez-bb.org (Inb4 internet white knights, I'm allowed to give out the link because the site does nothing illegal) contain threads with various download links(and there's MU links for anything, basically) for pretty much anything you might ever want. Full speed all of the time, independent of seeders.
Plus, pretty much no one, including ISP-s, gives a rat's behind what you download with them because, unlike torrents, you aren't distributing illegal files. Besides, it'd take way too much effort and resources for them (more than they have) to actually monitor contents of all the traffic you make (unlike the relative ease of tracking .torrent downloads or baiting people by sniffing through torrent seeders' IPs).
Yaaay.
