Software rips - and marketing by spam using contact crap in Finland.
Domain and related domains created this and last month - bets on they are lining up for a hit using a few domains/faces. Sloppy and amateur biz front face despite a half-good website front - candidates for cuffs depending on jurisidiction/nature of offenses.
PS The software is below any pricing level a publisher would distribute - and complete with no license nor any support

It's not a scam in the sense that they'll be fucking over customers or anything. Customers are going to get what they paid for, and what they're paying for is a pirated copy of the software. They're obviously scamming the software companies out of legitimate sales, though.26 + 6 = 1Comment

No scammers. And for Finland, The Fins are among the most honest people on the earth.It's not a scam in the sense that they'll be fucking over customers or anything. Customers are going to get what they paid for, and what they're paying for is a pirated copy of the software. They're obviously scamming the software companies out of legitimate sales, though.
You will get what you pay for. But I really think there are Russians behind it.Comment

Didn't know if it was pirated or not. So they sell cracked versions or give BS serial #s I guess? I actually found this site when I did a search for the latest Cubase software and it came up as a paid Google advertiser.

Totally possible fm. Tho also a fair bet he is far closer to home than we may think - or, at least the instigator/motivator is. Poss in Warwick NY area.
The spam is very low so far - hardly enough to warrant any volume short time hit pre-Christmas. Could be just a small-time ripper and no card fraud - time will tell.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Sure, it's illegal - especially in the publishers eyes
Tho they are not claiming it's "legal" and offer no licenses or support. This stuff is available on any warez/torrent site - the difference is they are asking money for it - which poss leads on to card fraud which may be of more concern to folks than software rips.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Yes Mark - it's pirated or ripped software. Some of the sale pricing levels are below that which a distributor would purchase for legitimate copies with licenses - even for "electronic delivery".
Here's another couple of domains/mirrors:
http://www.oemofoem.com
http://www.hohlomator.com
http://www.worldsoftwaredirect.com
http://www.mamaoem.org (non operational)
Whois info can be amusing on some of them

Mark,
It is possible to get those software titles legit for those prices or below; HOWEVER, the bulk rates for this start at purchases of 100 licenses on Adobe products and 200 licenses on Macromedia products (Yes, i know...same company but they have still kept the same licensing rules).
It is possible to get Photoshop for $100/License and Dreamweaver + Flash for $150/Combo License
As for these guys...SCAMMERSComment

K! Meet Alex Rodrigez, AKA Leo Kuvayev, 34 yr Russian and major spammer. He's spammed everything from watches to porn to, well - software.
Never checked, but chances are the downloads are coming from China as is his modus operandi.
And a nice pic of him sitting on his throne

And hell, he's even qualified for own entry in wikipedia:

SO... Back to your question Mark - Yes, it's kinda illegal
