Unless there's someone out there willing to prove this, it's completely false. Adobe only sends registration information (NOT your serial number) back to Adobe... but only information you tell it to, such as your name, address, phone number, email and whatever other information you put into their form and sent to them. You can EASILY even opt out of this, too, as I do all the time, when a big screen pops up basically saying, "Hey, I'm sending this form that you filled out back to some obscure database at Adobe, and only this information, and I'm going to do it now if you press the "OK" button -- otherwise, I won't send a damn thing and I'll ask you again later, unless of course, you press this button here and banish this information and this window forever so you'll never be hassled to do this again."
It worked for me. With both PhotoShop and Illustrator.
Serial numbers and APPLICATION registration information (NOT the USER-inputted registration information) are kept confidential on your computer and are NOT sent over the internet to anyone.
