It's 100% rubbish. Kobo has made chances in the firmware 3 or 4 times that has caused these registration hacks to fail. When the firmware got installed, the database was reset and you lost everything on your Kobo that the database gets track of. That meant you basically has to start over and had to register.

There's no reason not to do a proper registration. Kobo does not do anything with your data that would cause any sort of privacy concerns. Besides, you give more information to have a bank card or credit card and there is a lot more chance of your bank or credit card company being hacked and your data stolen.
