Where therse a will theres a way.
The best DRM is steam, because it works.
How does it work? You realise DRM is intended to stop copying rather than just allowing people to play a game?
With regards to Steam 'dodgy' clients there are at least 3 out there that allow full game downloads. I've never tried them and I never will but they are out there and there are a lot of sites littered with Steam-rips.

Those clients perform flaky at best if you can get them download anything all.
Also, you dennounce STEAM as doing nothing to prevent piracy yet have no first hand experience of trying these clients and if you have, would realise they have not in the slightest bypassed the STEAM DRM sucessfully.
Um if you can rip a game from Steam, publish it on the internet for people with or without the Steam clients, how is this not successfully bypassing DRM?
