It seems to be the Xbox version also, so it seems that piracy finds a way. I have heard reports of a review copy, or a member of staff's relative leaking the game.
I fully sympathise with the game developers and distribution teams, who have spent a lot of time and money, and then this happens. Despite my views on the actual game, noone deserves to have their product pirated.
How does this affect the product (FO3), the company (Bethesda) and the gaming market? FO3 was reported to be DRM free, but what methods will be employed now to try and prevent this sort of thing happening?

Fubbs method of anti-Pirating:
Find where the server is hosted by, e.g computer or whatever, call up the CIA and say thers a terrorist in the building that is going to implement a virus or something into the internet and shutdown world trade, and then they'll go blow it up. Next thing you know, the '.Zip or Compressed file is corrupted'
If only it was that easy. Im preordering my for PC, i think ill get the special edition from Amazon.ca, not sure yet. I want to,, cause i'd like a vault boy bobble head.
