I don't know how it got on this from a Blizzard topic, but if MS ever tried
sending reg info or <gasp> checking your system for pirated software without
permission from the user, they would get their butt sued so fast it would
make your head spin.  You heard about what happened to Blizzard when they
tried that type of stunt to catch the pirates didn't you?  They got thier
butts sued.
