No, they can't tell.

There was a company that placed software from the movie on to your computer to tell when you were pirating.
they got in trouble for it.
This is by definition- a virus. The user was unaware and never agreed for software to be loaded on to their computer.
They had to stop.
I forgot which company did it- but they already had DVD's released and out there with this software.
in general- no.
Paranoid? disconnect your Internet connection and run spy ware afterward.
