Hello
Check out this link
http://freehost.0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o0o.org/dvd1/index5.html
This is how free development start to die, when people like this use free programs and sell it, abusing about the ignorance of end user who wants movies!!!
Any comment for this kind of people???

So what are you, his pitchman or something? Was it needed to spam this forum with more underhanded adverts?
As far as the site, anybody who willingly gives his CC # to a site named freehost.0o0o0o0o0... deserves to be get rolled. Nuff said.

I love the last part:
ORDER within the next 48 hours and well include a secret source for thousands of new DVD movies online and available for free!Just in case you weren't 100% sure they were crooks, they have to include something that is definitely illegal. Hey, they could have developed their own software, and not be selling freeware. I mean it's possible. Extremely unlikely, but possible. Then again, perhaps they have the rights to distribute thousands of DVD movies online, and are kind hearted enough to do it for free.

well, if everything they are selling is gpl, then they are not actually doing anything illegal. at least that was the what I got out of reading one gpl interpretation. I could be wrong on that.
and of course, depending on your own interpretation, they part about the secret source could just be amazon.com, they could have just been saying the source was free, (no membership fee for amazon) not the dvd's.
but, if you ask me, anyone who buys anything without doing their homework first deserves to have their money taken away.
big lol.

I just checked into the GNU GPL and it does state:
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. Of course, $70 is too much for copying, and they don't mention a warranty, but they do say something about 'live tech support', so they may include a warranty among other services. This could make it legal, but I'm no expert. This is assuming they are distributing GPL software.

I think they need the money to get someone to make a better webpage for them !
