BAV Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I have come across sites that sell dirt cheap MS Office OEM software that they claim to have obtained from overstock, auctions, closures etc. Is buying such software legal?Thanks in advance.BAV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Hmmm,the fact that the site is registered to godaddy.com from Belarus:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarusthat the Admin and Technical representative is the same person, with a gmail account, that there is no actual address or telephone number on the site, that the cited "OEM SoftSales Ltd." company appears to be non-existing, that the site is listed here:http://spamtrackers.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Soft_Salesaren't, when put all together, the best clues to answer yourself the question? jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
