If you stumble upon "http://softwarebackups.org", don't even wonder whether it is legit or not.


The way these sites operate is that they send you for example photoshop cs3 cd/dvd but without the serial numbers or registration codes, as they are sold as backup copies. So in essence you are paying for a backup copy of software you supposedly already own - and that is the only way these copies are legal.

BTW, buying OEM software by the piece is against the EULA. Most sites are getting DMCA takedowns.
