I 100% agree.  I'm Canadian and I have the freedom to download the 
restricted extras as I wish.  It would be best to have a (k)ubuntu with 
the restricted extras already installed and another version for the 
Americans and the few people that don't want it installed.

I hate it when people complain that (k)Ubuntu, "does not even have MP3 
support.  What kind of OS is that?".  It is one of the more difficult 
things to defend.  I try to explain the free formats, but that does not 
seem to help.
