If this is your concern and you are using TS2K
you probably sending all this information to Omega already.

Do I think it is possible? Yes.
Do I think that Omega does it? No.
Not that I believe in Omega's honesty, but I think that would be
the most dumbest thing ever that publicaly traded company has done.
First, 99.99999999% of the systems they would receive is a junk in the first
place;
Second, if anybody ever finds out, they would loose 99% of their
customers base.
And if you so paranoid, why don't you put your system code into a dll.
