well in that case youll have to live with the consequences of refusing to do what the companies want you to do i.e. not use their product. They can do what they want to feel like their product is secure just as much as you can not put your workstation is online.
As en example to the "they want too many details etc etc conundrum", you probably entered more details when you joined renderosity than when you registered the software, and its more visible to people.
for instance, the chap at the top, just by looking at your bio,
Hi everyone!
Other than my nickname suggests I am actually male. My real name is Ernst, I am ...let's say more than 40 years old, and I am from Munich (Muenchen), Germany. I have been working with Poser for a very long time. If I remeber this correctly, I started with version 3 which I still own ;-)
I know your name, where you live, your rough age etc.
As rutra said,
Furthermore, if you used a credit card to buy a software (or whatever) than it's already recorded somewhere (and therefore available to someone) that you purchased that product. What's the difference between that database record (i.e, person X bought product Y) from the activation record database (i.e, person X activated product Y)? Unless you don't use credit cards also and buy everything in cash! LOL :-)
