ZOMG horrible company! Off with their heads! FUCK EA! Fuck everything! I knew they were evil!

What else?

So, I have read several places that this is supposedly only happening to people who have pirated versions of EA published games installed on the hard drive. That is apparently why Origin scans everything on your computer so vehemently.

I wouldn't put it below EA to do that. If they are doing that, is it even legal? I would bet they could get in HUGE trouble for it.

As long as they disclose they are doing the scans, they are considered voluntary and the pirates got what they deserved.

Do they count no-cd cracks or similar, though? What if the version installed is the version you bought, but you modified it to make something more convenient for you? Would EA automatically charge you for your game, again?

E; I hate shit like this, because it is the pirates that strip that stuff out so they don't have to deal with it. Basically, you pay money to buy a game and get a worse experience with it than people who pirated it.

Not sure. Would have to look in the fine print of Origin. If it's not there, this is highly illegal. And, even then, it may be...
