I would imagine that the deal is more of an advertisement of their product. They pay for the privelage of becoming better known and more wide spread throughout the world, as is the goal of any large company/business today. Whether or not people install the product does not really concern them. If they show adverts through popups, don't you think they make money from THEIR sponsors that way?

Erm, not for me and tbh, my PC isn't exactly top spec
I will stick up for Plus! and Patchou until the end. People should realise that (optional) adware or not, MP!L is not "unsafe" and does not install "malicious" software onto your PC.

Exactly our point Adeptus, it is through their own negligence that people install it. Just like people who say "I accidentally downloaded WGA from Automatic Update and now it knows my version of Windows isn't genuine". There is always an option to not install/download something, it's just whether people are smart enough to find it/look for it. In this case, it's fairly easy to find...
