They don't even know it's YOU who's running Paint Shop Pro, as your serial key and registration is not part of the data being sent! All they know is that at one time, SOMEONE was running it.
Heck, there's millions of people sharing their whole C drive with NetBEUI, and sharing their Outlook PST files with Kazaa. This is hardly a big concern (for now)
