This website gives away free software everyday. A couple days back they gave out Adobe Flash CS4.

Volko told me about this in real life.

FFFFFUUUUU-


And this is completely legal?


I'm guessing this isnt legal in anyway, and if it is, how, are they just demos?

legit :D

They are the full versions

This doesn't sound good, this is from SiteAdvisor (which popped up when I went to the Streaming Video Recorder website to tell me that streaming-video-recorder_trial.exe has a virus in it):

This site gave away software free on 8-18-2009 on giveawayoftheday.com. It was full version for about 2 mo. and then reverted to trial version. My e-mails to them were ignored.

Oh, and Giveawayoftheday is only giving a 50% discount on today's software :V

EDIT: Or not, I can't tell really

Well you cant really expect a website to "buy" the software and give it away for free, it takes money out of the owning company's profit from the product.

The companies agree to have the person post it up there.

Anyway you can get Adobe Flash CS4 for about $200 at Acedemic Superstore, although its a student version and cant be used for commercial purposes.

.... There has to be a downside to this. :/

How this is legal:
Companies that wish to promote their software give it to this website to give away for 24 hours. What the companies believe this will do is get some people talking about the software, and after the 24 hours, people that didn't get it for free will want to buy it.

13 MB never takes this long to download for me, my computer must be loving with me.

I got that Sothink SWF stuff but It confuse me
