Me, too.
Especially as I think that the strange effect of this marketing strategy is eventually that people who bought it (because they could) put that stuff on youtube so everybody can download it which means the artist actually loses money that way.
Also, it really annoys me that the bonus tracks are often album only tracks on itunes or amazon. If I've already bought a physical copy of an album I don't need or want to buy it a second time. It's quite a rip off imho...
