What you see is irrelevant to what they can do once the device is installed on your computer. I suggest (since I believe you are a lawyer by trade) that you review carefully the EULA you agreed to with the service and see if anything strikes you odd.
You can just delete the directory to which the MJ software installs.
Sure, you can do that, but it does not remove the registry entries and a few other goodies they drop. Moreover, they (unlike almost every other major software vendor known to man) don't give you an uninstaller to do this work.
Not necessarily -- there are ways of reaching second tier and above and they do know their product.
Really? I was helping someone debug one of these things, and the online chatdude insisted that it was a PC problem after three reboots and re-insertions did not solve the problem. As a customer, one should not have to jump thru hoops to get help.
If it works for you, that's fine. Keep in mind that the company's EULA allows them to do various nefarious things to your PC, the support is lousy, and you cannot uninstall it. Essentially, you get exactly what you pay for (eg, these reasons are why it's so incredibly cheap).
