The .dat file is larger because it has been uncompressed. (It runs actually faster than the original because the all kinds of shit that the copy protection contains is not executed anymore.)
EA has a bad reputation when it comes to (all kinds of) user support. If you think your key has been stolen (would be nothing new, unfortunately) and would like to get things straight then, by all means, contact them but make sure to have some proof of purchase (original box, manual, DVD, invoice/bill/receipt etc.) handy as well as your refrigerator stuffed with food for a few weeks...
