Clearly each to his own - in my mind that only makes it worse. It's bad
enough I'm assumed to be a pirate, compounded by unnecessary software
being installed on my PC, then not being told this is being done to MY
property (PC and game).

The laws of copyright (i.e. MY right to make reasonable duplicates of MY
property) exist for a good reason. The fact that it's "unnoticable"
misses the point, or does for me at least.
