Think it through. Of cause you cant get the games files if the provider goes offline. You can make a backup of any of your games in steam, which will make it possible to install it again offline on other machines.

The game won't run on another machine, at best you have a two weeks time window before the DRM checks start to fail.

There's this family sharing thing though, where you can share your Steam library between 5 accounts and up to 10 computers:
