    I saw this site and saw that it had products I was looking for for a while. Is this website a scam or is it accurate? It doesn't require a creditcard but it does money orders... :unsure:

    They're all burned, too.

    That site is highly illegal, especially with the fact that they're selling illegal CD-keys, too.

    yeah...i'ts illegal...I checked out the FAQ and it said:
    Q: Is this legal
    A: If you use it for backup purposes.

    Do you think the programs actually work though? I don't really care if it's a ripped copy, I just want the program to work.

    They'll work, but if you ever want to update them, you'll have to buy the updated product, because the illegal CD-keys won't let you update the program.

    The only thing worse than pirating things illegally is paying money to pirate things illegally.

    The Half-Life 2 source code was leaked a while back illegally...and now this place claims to have a version of it for download...well, the beta anyways...I wasn't aware that people were supposed to be able to get a BETA OF AN UNFINISHED GAME. Especially Half-Life 2. This site does so many illegal things that it makes Michael Jackson look like a choir boy...well, maybe not to THAT extent... Anyways, it's sad that people have to not only break the law, but entice others into joining them by putting up a front. Awful...
