Fast eddie, you really need to stop calling this watermark "forced advertising". Your mentioning that ImgBurn, and AnyDVD (HD) don't have this says nothing. They're totally different programs (does the DVDFab ripper put a watermark on the ripped video?). ImgBurn is even free but it doesn't matter. It could not put a watermark on your blurays even if it wanted.
You'd wanna compare it to CloneDVD or CloneBD or other apps which do encoding. Of which many of the trials of the paid ones do have watermarks (IIRC divx did this). It's not a big deal, it's not unheard of, and it's perfectly understandable. It doesn't keep you from judging the quality of the product. Even some image programs output pictures with watermarks. It's common practice.
I don't understand why you are so outraged that "it's YOUR HDTV". Yeah, but it's not your program (yet). Also, it's not an ad. You're already using the trial of the product, you already know about it.
