In between credit card fees and whatever model of transaction Steam uses I'd also imagine that someone would be getting boned if Steam returns became a preferred method of piracy.

I know how to torrent. It's pretty easy. I wouldn't know how to play a steam game that wasn't tied in with my steam account. Even if I made a copy of all the files before refunding.
And yeah, I agree the people that are going to steal are going to torrent. They aren't going through the steps of buying, refunding and doing whatever you need to do to keep playing after you refund.
