Yes they can because they are scanning my computer for files when I don't give them permission to. It's not even in their TOS when you install the app, you have to GO FIND IT. That's bull crap and shady.

Having a time sensitive DRM mechanism reading WITHIN their own architecture is fine, and I agree, it's a good use of the technology. When they begin to reach PAST their software and into other places on my hard drive they have no business being, THEN I have a problem.
