People says that Steam Support will only remove your DiRT 3 from account

Examples of leaked keys and regular keys: Regular: QGG0E or 4L6V8 or ZX5M6 | Stolen: FHX8B or FHX7D or FHX5X. Check the first symbols before activating.

So....download and play it as long as you can. You don't know the key you got is legal or not.

You will be banned if your Dirt 3 key starts with F. I checked the 2500 keys leaked from codemasters VIP, all started with F.

Man this is a shame. I'm going to assume they will be blacklisting them all and people with valid ones (gfx card vouchers) will have to re-register them somehow. This of course means that any promo/contest keys will probably be gone permanently.
If I remember correctly, I won mine sometime in June from an official XFX sponsored contest before all this free code craziness started. Still haven't gotten around to playing it due to limited hdd space, too bad.

I hate to say it (as much as I love AMD) This is all their fault, you don't put 3 Million keys on a webmaster with almost no security. For example when the Ubisoft Employee store link was found for some games, Ubisoft bit the bullet and let everyone have their games for $1.

"attempting to register a CD Key which has been published on the internet."
That would make using keys from the recent Sanctum giveaway a bannable offense, so clearly they use some discretion in enforcing their rules.
Not to mention that there are plenty of people out there who would find it enjoyable to give out hacked keys to unsuspecting people just because they think it's funny to get a stranger's account banned.

I'm sure there's a difference between the AMD Survey CD-KEYS and the Codemasters one. I got an AMD one a while back and my account is still standing.. for now.
Just avoid using ANY Dirt 3 keys you find from now on.

The fake ones begin with the letter "F". As I've seen.

So all the cd-keys legit and leak are from this site: http://amd4u.com/dirt3promo. How will they make the difference between the legit ones witch you can get if you have bought a amd card, and the leaked ones? They are basically from the same database at http://amd4u.com/dirt3promo.

didn't you have to use a unique ID to claim the AMD promo keys?

My key starts with an "F", but I got my key from the AMD promo thing. And no, I did not ABUSE it. I only got a key for myself.

2500 keys have leaked on a russian forum. There is a chance your Steam account will be suspended for using one of those codes, so you should probably NOT enter DiRT 3 giveaways.
Edit: Maybe they'll just remove the game from your account. Is it worth risking? You decide.
According to Steam's policy:
"There is a Zero-Tolerance policy for any violations of the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Online Code of Conduct. All accounts in a user's possession for any of the following activities will be suspended: Piracy or Hacking
This includes using an unauthorized ("hacked") Steam client to access Steam, attempting to register fake CD Keys or attempting to register a CD Key which has been published on the internet."
