No, not a bootleg. It’s an original from Costco. I believe that when WMP reads a disc for the first time, it accesses the cover art and song title list from 3rd party internet locations. (Not sure where exactly). Evidently, this guy beat Random House to the punch by making his CD look like Decision Points and getting some free advertising. This kind of stuff just aggravates me, that’s all.

I have “dozens” of files DLd via the internet and they all come with the original art of the album cover.

Why dont you try using VLC as your player instead? or even Media Player Classic or MPC. WMP will never access any 3rd party source as the cover unless it’s part of the packaging/file.

Try exchanging it. COSTCO btw is a Dem company which gave $$ to the Obama campaign.
