Yes that's their real name and it's Buuren, not burren.
You mention privacy issues and I'd have to say that there have been cases where artists weren't allowed to use their original name. For example, a TA by the name of Sand Leaper said Sasha had some problems with his dj name because another artist by the same name already had it. Also if you have ever heard of the song "Lola's Theme" by the Shapeshifters, a U.K. artist, they call them Shape_UK here in the states because there is already a rap group by that name here.
If you're planning to use a name from a very famous artist, then chances are you will run into legal trouble if you try to release something under their name because by default it is considered that you are using their name for [monetary, fame, etc] gain. If it is some unknown then it's anybody's ball game from there meaning you better come out with a hit before he/she does so you can claim the original moniker!
