No, it's not.

Correct, there are plenty of dupe/fake files around -
especially on peer-to-peer networks, which is why I never use P2P software or connect to such networks.

Most 'pirate copies' will include offline key generators or additional tools which will enable multiplayer support (unless otherwise, e.g. EA Servers cracking down on NFSU pirated copies).
Also, offline and single-player modes would also be made available via the use of such keys, for the sole purpose of installation (if required). Furthermore, there would be additional tools which would allow you to host your own LAN games, not necessarily through 'legitimate' online servers, which may or may not authenticate pirate copies.
I've never played CS, but that is my two cents.
