Appears Steam is calling home to Google for widevine?? (DRM). Not only is that not working in Linux I don't have any DRM'd content to begin with. Wasn't logged in either. Why is there no way to disable this?

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Start Steam, no login required
2. Observe network requests to hosts like r4---sn-random.gvt1.com
3. Sigh in frustration

A simple grep on grep -a gvt1 ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_64/* turns up some rather disturbing results.
