Anyway, as stated before, the LOP sponsor is completely optional and does not necessarily need to be installed in order to use Messenger Plus! Live.
Furthermore, it is neither accepted nor denied by default in the installer, so the user is given a choice.
You called this the exploitation of ignorance, but I ask you now, who's at fault here? Is it the developer who is giving the user an obvious choice on whether or not to support the software or is it the user who is too ignorant (or lazy) to actually read what he's agreeing on?
Anyway, there have been quite a few complaints like yours before. As SonicSam pointed out earlier in this thread, the LOP sponsor is being phased out (or has already been phased out, I'm not sure on that) right now, so less and less people should have problems with it.
EDIT: oh and toddy, you might want to take a look in
this old, but still valid thread
