This is the pop-up Ubuntu gives:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1046/589741056_a84cb01a79.jpg

It says:

The use, modification and distribution of Ubuntu restricted extras is
restricted by copyright or by legal terms in some countries.
You need a working internet connection to continue.
[Cancel] [Install]"
