Unless you're one of those people who can read through every line of code and understand it. Though this might be something a lot of regulars here can do, it's certainly not something which newbies on the web would do which is why I'd like to echo what Cookie said,
stick to the official script db

It was Microsoft that requested, and Plus! depends on Microsoft to exist, simple as that.
I wouldn't put it up to
dependence. It's more a fact that they do have a point. Since it is their software, they do have to look at the fact that there are absolute newbies who have no idea about how things work and could easily be tricked by such things. For people who don't know better, such scripts
could be a problem. There is a potential for misuse (as there is with most things, I'm afraid). Not everyone has the same set of ethics and moral standards not to use such scripts to do wrong things. I guess when the risk becomes a bit too high or a couple of particular cases come up and all this comes to their notice, mails start flying out.
I don't see anything wrong with that
