If this is really a problem for you, it's because you're planning on pirating the game and this makes it a little harder to do so, not because you're afraid of activating a piece of software you legitimately own.

So, in other words, if you're innocent you've got nothing to fear? I think it's safe to say that's bull no matter whether we're talking games or airline security.
