If I fail to accept the two offers within 24 hours, I understand that I will be immediately charged $81.36 for an annual license to the MediaPipe Download Manager Software. I also understand that if, after accepting two trial offers, I decide not to cancel within the 30-day trial period then I will be charged the annual license fee at the expiration of the trial period. I further understand that for my convenience this transaction will automatically renew each year until cancelled. Please review our complete billing terms for more information regarding this offer."

We have tested the software and on phone with Media right now and we ahve tested on three different machines and there were no problems with the company. There was no issue with uninstalling the software and no residual effects. Do you really think Media would jeopardize our reputation by advertising a malicious product. If this this was something shady and taking over peoples computers in a malicious way, then the FTC would of shut them down. They have been in operation for many many months now.

I just wanted to know which programs would willingly support something like this. I would think any reputable program would do at least a little research on a product or sponsor before they start promoting, especially if it was a new company or program such as moviepass.tv.

I just wanted to know which programs would willingly support something like this. I would think any reputable program would do at least a little research on a product or sponsor before they start promoting, especially if it was a new company or program such as moviepass.tv.

Everybody but the sponsors who promoted them. I never seen so much bs in my life coming from those people. And ofcourse no reply from them in this thread. They just hope it dies quick.
