From their FAQ,
CD Media: All products will arrive on high-grade CD-R Discs, either 74min or 80min. If they are shipping full or upgrade copies then this is in fact illegal. This has also been the latest method of operating for warez sites since all the free virtual drive sites collasped. |

From what I've heard it's legal to make a backup copy of any program as long as you bought the original program. What this site seems to be doing is making the backup copy for you (I'm guessing for people that don't have CD-RW's or such and can't make their own copy). If you check the terms and conditions it states that you must own the original copy of the program you are buying. Now, if you were to buy a copy from them without owning the original, YOU would be breaking the law, not them, as they can most likely just fall back on the terms and conditions that you agreed to. Kinda touchy scenario they got going there.

from what I see there, the o/s that they are selling will not work,unless you have a leagal copy of it to begin with, as you need to have the cd code to even install it, plus it will stop working without the proper activating.

I'll bet they are not providing a CD Key. If they are I'll bet the will be replying to your order from the brig.

If you look at the FAQ, it says that all products come with the serial code....
Products: Every product featured on BackupBiz.com was purchased legally, not a downloaded warez version. All products come with working serials and needed information to use the product. Every product is an ISO. This means that it is the "original copy", like a copy you would buy from a shop, not a downloaded warez version. Go figure

One very simple scam that a fellow wrote a book about (internet scams that is) was to simply set up a bogus website then collect credit card numbers.

They might just take your money with no intention of sending you anything then close up shop when to heat gets too close for comfort.

As this is in Russia proper, there is little that will be done by M$. Especially if the Mafiya is involved. The notion of eulas, as such, is commonly held as absurd in that country, by Russians here as well, and, that those who abide by them are fools. I understand their rationale. Be that as it may. I obey to avoid any Imperial entanglements, with due respect to star wars...
