WD Ransomware?

The Western Digital HDD package promises a free software download to easily clone the HDD.  After downloading, cloning is often impossible.  You are then directed to pay for a software upgrade.  After Western Digital has my data and OS locked up, how is paying more to make the software work not ransomware?  Sure smells like ransomware to me.
