I admit I haven't read all the comments here so I apologize if someone else has made the following comment. This story is nonsense.
Install Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653), launch Process Explorer, install Origin, launch Origin, log in with your username/password. Let Process Explorer run for an hour or so and filter out any results where the Origin directory is being read.
What are you going to find? Nothing.
Most of this outrage is based on a photoshopped screenshot in a BF3 forum, the rest is speculation, not based on fact.
People are freaking out on this like it's already happening. I point out how you can monitor the program and now I'm getting a negative feedback? Fuck this place.

Try the Process Manger experiment for yourself.
