Arguably, no. Is it informed consent? The statement in the EULA

        This audio compact disc utilizes MediaMax technology by
        SunnComm to deliver enhanced features to your computer.
        In order to properly utilize this CD on your computer, it
        is necessary to install a small software program on your
