But the current version allows a person with the CD to install it to any machine as long as they have the key. They're allowing "casual copying" between buddies now. They can't play MP together, but that wouldn't change with downloading.
The only difference is that it would be easier for buddies who aren't physically close to copy.
Personally I don't really care, but some of these arguments are silly.
