shady bull****.

Theres no sony/ms license to pay on the PC version, either just being greedy or forced to do it by sony / ms

Or is this normal?

Yeah but it have a lot less abuse. On maybe 10 people i know with 360, 1 pirate. On PC, i'am the only one that is actually buying games (others download) (on steam, Impulse, D2D etc)

That's right. It's much much easier on PC, hence the DRM is usually have to deal with. While it exists consoles, it usually isn't high impact. Console tends to have high sales, low piracy, PC has lower sales, more piracy. This evens out as a game ages through Steam sales etc, however it's often a pirate finally buying a game he's been playing for years anyway. if we want PC gaming as we know it to survive, we need to spread awareness, not point fingers at others or ignore it outright. I'm trying to educate the guys at work, but when most don't even have a legal copy of Windows, it's an uphill battle.
