that's taking liberties with my familly i don't appreciate. it's yet another reason to loath these new media conglomerates.

What it comes down to is that if you are purchasing it, there should never be any 'extras' burnt into the cd's for advertising. There's no excuse for it. Not that I'm not fond of ads tied to software but it would be a bit more understandable why they would peddle ads with some freeware.
