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.
So, you admit that the adware is undesireable by virtually everyone and being snuck onto their systems when they fail to pay adequate attention to prevent it.
Don't twist stuff around (apparently this is something many people are good at) and investigate before drawing a conclusion (apparently this is something not many people are good at).
What SpunkyLoveMuff said is that if the sponsor is installed by accident it is because of their own negligence (and not what you twist it around in). Why? Because absolutely nothing is ticked by default and the user must explicitly, before the sponsor is installed:
1) tick the option to install the sponsor (which is not ticked by default)
2) then a big window appears with the title sponsor agreement, with a big area for the sponsor eula
3) then the user must AGAIN tick an option which is not ticked by default.
So you see, if you did at least some investigation instead of blunty copying and repeating what you've found on those security forums and other misinformed and biased places, and you read things as they are meant and not as you want them to be, you wouldn't have come to that reply.

As for C2Media and their full "product"
Again an example of how you just copy stuff from other places and people without actually investigating for yourself.
What people have said on this forum time and again is that the sponsor is NOT their full product but a stripped down, controlled, light version, which is majorly different than their full product (which doesn't exist anymore btw, FYI).
