There may be a way to shut down Origins "phone home" ports it uses to data mine though and keep the block specific to the origin application. If I could do that I would run origin for one game and one game only ToR.

Even Steam records the Apps. you have installed in the 'System information'.
A lot of users have BitTorrent installed too. So?
Not everything downloaded is illegal. In fact a lot of legal and legitimate downloads
need to be downloaded through a Torrent client.
Origin? Still haven't heard much good of it.

What about Gamefly? Anything wacky with them?

Bear in mind that some of us have already finished the first Dead Space, and feel like we've earned the right to be powerful bad-a**es. Just my opinion
