DRAMA: How moviepass.tv/webmastersdirect works and why they are fucking scumbags

From their site:

http://www.moviepass.tv/terms.html
Quote:
ONCE THE SOFTWARE IS INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER IT WILL CREATE AUTO START FEATURES WITHIN YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM THAT WILL RUN PROCESSES ON YOUR SYSTEM. THESE PROCESSES AND ALL COMPONENTS OF THE SOFTWARE CAN BE COMPLETELY REMOVED SHOULD YOU ELECT TO CANCEL YOUR TRIAL WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TRIAL PERIOD. IF YOU DO NOT CANCEL WITHIN THE SPECIFIED TRIAL PERIOD OUR SOFTWARE LICENSE MANAGEMENT UTILITY WILL STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER AND WILL CONTINUE TO LAUNCH ON START UP OF YOUR COMPUTER UNTIL YOU SATISFY THE OBLIGATIONS YOU AGREED TO WHEN YOU INSTALLED OUR SOFTWARE.
In other words, if the user installs the software and doesn't delete within 3 days, they demand ransom to get rid of the spyware.

Ofcourse, the user has to click for the terms (rather than just see the "I am over 18 years old and agree to the terms" and click "execute" - which everyone does), and then has to read a HUGE fucking contract containing this significant bit.

If you use this, you are scum.
