Another of the reasons I don't tend to buy music CDs any more - you never
know what they've included software-wise on the disc. Running Linux, I
don't need to worry about it too much, but still, I don't like giving
money to companies that do things I don't consider to be right/ethical.

I have that with ripping my CDs, so there's no added value).
