2nd plugin submitted (3rd if you count AMX_Super Menu). But I've done a few requests before as well

Obviously Steam created Family Sharing for a reason knowing the potential downfalls of such a system. I don't think we need to stimulate Steam by preventing a feature that they themselves added.

I guess that is one way to look at it, but that was not one I was thinking about.

Family Sharing can be used to get around Bans (maybe VAC bans, the FAQ claims you can't share VAC Banned games though). The base idea for this plugin came from a few SourceMod plugins that do similar things (though using SteamWorks instead of the WebAPI)

Example:
Account1 has SteamID STEAM_0:0:136994
Account2 has SteamID STEAM_0:1:63289657
If Account1 shares games with Account2, Account2 will still use its SteamID despite playing a shared game. This means that if you ban Account1's SteamID, Account2 will still be allowed to play on your server. People could potentially create a new Steam Account, gain access to Account1's Shared Games, and then come back and play on your server.
