GOG are doing a very interesting thing as of today:

There are countless retail games out there that don’t work for various reasons: unsupported types of DRM, system incompatibilities, broken features. There’s too many too count. Starting today, owners of several retail titles originally sold with DRM can get a digital copy of their game completely free at GOG.com: with no DRM as always, compatible with modern operating systems, and with plenty of goodies to boot.

Reclaim these games, DRM-FREE.

…

To reclaim your game, just use one of the keys that came with your box. You can find more detailed information on the Reclaim your games, DRM-FREE! page to see if your key is compatible and just where to go from there.

This is just the start of something much bigger. We plan to add more titles to the list in the future – it’s a long and complicated process that involves negotiating with multiple parties and a scavenger hunt to retrieve forgotten key-databases – but then, we are on a mission here, we’ll do whatever it takes.

For right now, there are only a scant few titles available to be “reclaimed” — basically some S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Mount & Blade titles — but you’ll note that GOG have promised to expand the system when and as they are able. Hopefully they’re able to make good on that promise; this is a really excellent initiative that all but demands to be expanded upon.
