Easy. Lots of companies and networks do it. It's known by the technical 
name of "grab it from the customer and nine times out of ten they don't 
notice and if they do they don't always bother to mention it but if they 
do complain then we can always apologise and blame it on a computer 
error" and it boosts their profits greatly.

Contest it, the network will almost certainly back down.
That game has been going on for years will all the networks.
