Re: [Flashcoders] Is this site legit to buy the software???
Don't trust it. I know very few big name manufacturer's who offer download software products sold through any other site than their own. The GM of a radio station I used to run IT for came to me one day saying that he bought some software from a vendor on e-bay. The software was way undercost. He wanted me to install it. There were programs from 4 different manufacturers on one (inkjet) printed disk. After opening the folders and reading the install instructions I saw several references to files with passwords, that the install would read during the install. Some kind of verbiage in the install files as well "no support, no upgrade, due to the low cost of this software" After calling Sony for verification we petitioned EBay to get our money back for the fraudulant software. The seller claimed that they were "fully within the rights of the EULA agreements" of the software they were dispensing. Sony's lawyers didn't see it that way when they went to court Cutter Helmut Granda wrote: Actually the site was registered through go daddy: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=tekdealers.com&prog_id=godaddy and Domains by Proxy say: Prohibitions: Domains By Proxy will not do business with you, nor protect your identity, if you: • Transmit spam, viruses or harmful computer programs; • Violate the law or infringe a third party’s trademark or copyright; • Engage in morally objectionable activities, including but not limited to those which are child pornographic, defamatory, abusive, harassing, obscene, racist, or otherwise objectionable. ...So either the software is legal or they don’t know tekdealers is seling illegal software?

Second hand maybe? They do mention there's no tech support: "Registration for technical support/upgrades not available due to the reduced cost."
