Not acceptable at all. Whoever came up with that scheme is a psychopathic criminal for all I care.

But then again, once you start using proprietary software you expect there is a gorilla holding your banana and with him comes the jungle.

Not even once.

Well to be fair, you can often receive those gorillas from reputable shippers (torrents), keep them each in their own strong cage (different user account under wine, chroot/namespaces being the next step), and prevent them from getting overexcited by the jungle (iptables).
