Difference of opinion...

Publicly stored? I don't know what you consider "public", but the contents of my computer, whether protected from intrusion or not, are nobody's business. The fact that this software retrieves ANY data from my computer that I did not explicitly authorize is a clear invasion of privacy regardless of the reason it is done.

I don't use this software, but given this revelation I very definitely won't ever use it or any product from this company. I think consumers have every right to expect that any software they install will, at very least, explicitly state what data will be gathered as a result of installation.

No one condones piracy, but unethical behavior is unethical behavior no matter what the reason. The ends do not justify the means.
