That's a feature of the recent desktop environments.  It sounds to me
like your system is automatically running pmount when you insert the
disc.  I think you'll find that the name (under /media) is consistent
per-disc, but varies by disc.  You could, theoretically, create
scripts or links that refer to /media/STARCRAFT that always work when
the Starcraft disc is in the drive but fail when it's not there.  I
don't know if that's considered a good idea in practice, though.
