When I pay for a script, I certainly am not paying for the right to advertise and build backlinks for you as well.

I don't put that in any paid scripts, but I really don't think it's a big deal.
If a surfer is looking for porn they are not going to click that link.
When I used free hosting and free scripts I had those kinds of links all over but it didn't affect my adult sign ups at all.
It seems you're more upset about not having control over it than it actually causing you harm.
If they tell you to pay more to get it removed then consider that they feel like the cheaper price is not enough to pay for the script but will sell it cheap if they can get traffic back.
It's not like they are controling you. It's more like, if you want to be cheap then ok, but you need to send them traffic.
