I have a simpler rule for those: "just say NO". I adopted that years
ago when a CD drive almost rattled itself to pieces reading a CD with
a sticky label on it. Even though the label appeared to be centered,
it was sufficiently out of balance to make horrible vibration (and, of
course, read errors). Add the fact that you will definite run into
trouble when things get warm and the glue melts.

In my opinion, there is NO excuse for those labels. None.
