This Works And I Know It's Very Frustrating! Here is what you do go to

Program Files/Steam/config/masterservers.vdf

And Replace That File With The One Provided And Mark As Read-Only

Instructions how to install Setti MasterServer

Overview

Working server browser for games (CS:S, CS1.6, DoD:S, TF2, Steam, ...)

MasterServer is a server which will tell clients (that's YOU) what are the IP addresses of game servers (CS:S, CS1.6, ...). What you need to do is change the default MasterServer IP address to Setti MasterServer IP address. To do that follow the instructions.

The servers which Setti MasterServer shows are listed at Serverlist - TF2, CS:S, CS1.6, DoD, DoD:S, HL2DM, .... You can add more servers by submitting them to the form at the bottom of Setti mainpage.

After installing masterserver, the servers at Setti will be listed in the in-game server browser. For Steam the servers are found from Servers window. So everything works just like normal, but the servers are fetched from Setti.

Install instructions

Remember to backup your original copies in case you want to revert.

1. Copy MasterServers.vdf to config\ directory
* Standalone: C:\games\Counter-Strike Source\platform\config\MasterServers.vdf OR
* Steam: C:\Program Files\Steam\config\MasterServers.vdf
2. Make MasterServers.vdf read-only
* Right-click over MasterServers.vdf, select "Properties" and check "Read-only"


Remember to make the file READ-ONLY!

Making the VDF read-only prevents your game or Steam from overwriting it in some cases.

Updating MasterServer.vdf for any gametype (CS:S, CS1.6, DoD:S, ...) should work. MasterServer has been confirmed to work for CS1.6 and should work for every other game type too because they use the same kind of server query mechanism.

Steam server browser also works with Setti Masterserver. After patching Steam's Masterserver, all HL1 and HL2 based games launched through Steam will use Setti Masterserver. For example Team Fortress 2 works through Steam.

Just Put All Text In The VDF

This isn't a fix, this is only a filter that filters out the non cracked servers.
Also, you posted two of these.
Keep in mind that there aren't any fixes for "Dis account does not pwn this game", or "Servers are too busy"
 
Well, as Twilight said there are no fixes for the "Steam servers are too busy", or the "This account does not own this game." Steam simply wants a way to lock the hackers, and for that they lock the paying people too, which in their assumption, are less than hackers. As for the second error... It seems the Steam-Hacking community can only hack client-side which means that the accounts remain the same with or without cracks. This battle is extremely balanced and it seems we can't do anything about it.

Oh, and by the way, the Setti masterservers are pretty popular among the hackers, why did you post that here? I'm pretty sure 80% of the people here at least heard about it, if they're not using it.

this is from 2008. i'm sure 80% of the people didn't know about it back then.
