[wp-hackers] Is this legal?

[Moya, Eddie]

My Spanish is not rusty at all, and I can tell you that they are not selling buddypress. They have some strange SMS based verification process to give people access to their "guaranteed virus-free, high-speed download" of buddypress.

They charge people via the SMS required for that verification though - and charge differently based on the the country your in. Like someone said before - they are selling a download service more than buddypress itself. Its probably targeted at those who are less than internet-savvy, exploiting their otherwise healthy fear of viruses.

Sleazy, but legal.

They're also offering a direct download link to buddypress.org if you want
to skip the SMS. This just appears to be a niche download.com-like site as
Mike said.

My Spanish is rusty (thankfully, Chrome helps me out) but I also don't even
see where they're selling anything. They're just letting the user know that
SMS can cost money in some situations. Again, *not* that selling it would be
a problem. It's not.
