I'm not questioning whether the content was good or not, i'm questioning nat's decision to retroactively remove a processor from a paysite.
How do you know which of your clients were using MVC? What about clients who own the software outright and lock you out?
I think when you start down the road of being the moral police for other people you're going to endanger your business.

The only person who "owns" software is the person who wrote it. Everyone else, whether they lease or purchase, is paying for a LICENSE to use it, nothing more.
As for Microsoft.... Bill Gates decides shit like this all the time.
-He had their Java virtual machine removed from IE installations.
-Added popup blockers and defaulted them to on.
-Is in the process of forcing SP2 downloads on everyone.
-Is removing DOS support from Longhorn
Bottom line.... the developers of NATS can do whatever they want, it's their code.
