As for the snooping around your computer, that's not defined by international laws. Some countries will let you win the lawsuit and some will tell you you agreed to the EULA.

I've never seen such rubbish. Blind following the blind rubbish. Inflammatory bullshit.
1) You should try reading other EULAs.
2) How does Steam know I have an AMD graphics card? It must be reading information about my machine and sending it back. But it's ok, people like Steam now.
3) How do you think Steam Guard works? But it's ok, people like Steam now.
4) EA don't have the capacity to hold any more information on you than Valve. Do you honestly think they would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, on a data centre just to spy on what documents you have on your computer?
5) Steam has been up and down like a fiddler's elbow recently. If it was Origin, people would be frothing at the mouth screaming for a boycott.
I challenge anyone to come back with a Wireshark dump showing Origin sending the data that you claim is being sent. Hate on Origin because of the poor customer service, which was been acknowledged by EA. Don't hate based on mis-information.

I like it when people act like Steam is some magic god send programmed by the angels themselves while Origin was created by some evil money hungry corporation. They're both just stores with their own pros and cons stop arguing about it.

Today I learned something new about Origin. Apparently, people who bought some EA games (exaples: Mass Effect 2 or Dead Space 2) on Steam and had them installed etc, when they lately run Origin they found out they "received" those games on it.
Apparently, Origin "took a look" into your registry and system files and if he found legal EA games, then he put them on Origin account, without asking anyone if can.
If that's all true, that makes me wonder about two things: how it would react if I used my Origin account on friends PC (would I receive his games that way, would be "so cool"; or even better in some internet cafe ), and if people who had illegal copies (aka "demo") will be visited by sad men with FBI (or equivalent) badge...
