I'm sorry to say this, but it is pretty UNTHOUGHTFULL from you if you really rely this badly on freeware software...
The EULA which you agree on while installing clearly states "MESSENGER PLUS! LIVE AND ITS SPONSOR PROGRAM ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER". Sure it would have been nice if the feature was still here in the first 4.0 release, but there is not much you can do against it when it isn't there.
If you want to be sure of things, then pay somebody to write software for you and make a contract that guarantees something will keep on being available and working.
You are 100% right... LEGALLY noone can sue this company since we all "signed" the EULA before installing...
That does also mean however that we all installed and used this software in good faith - we supported it by spreading the word all over the world and this is what made it no1 and one of the most used programs. But don't you see that the 2 examples I gave earlier are exactly the same? (there is the same EULA everywhere)
Don't you see that there are certain "ethics" in the world of computing? And finally don't you think that apart from the legal obligations (which I totally agree are 100% fulfilled) isn't there the good name and fame of the company, Patchou and all the people behind this project at stake?
What goes up can come down... it's an internet reality with hundreds of examples to prove it... it seems that this program is nearing its EOL (end of life) and I am sorry to break the news...
