Anyone know anything about www.gimp.us.com?

Ah, I found it. Another censored for legal reasons GIMP more censoring for legal reasons is called PhotoEditorX http://www.photoeditx.com/

That was the one I was talking about earlier. You know, the one that has ad-bots planted in GIMP's IRC channel?

If you look, you can clearly see it's just GIMP, but they're selling it for $20 (USD). It's clearly a one last bit of censoring, what I said will forever be a mystery.

If you look even closer, you can still see Wilbur. They didn't even cover up the fact that they're "using" GIMP.

One last thing: Why do all scam sites look the same? I'm in no way calling http://www.photoeditx.com/ a scam site, because that'd be rude and a potentially sue-able offense. I was just thinking about a completely unrelated site I saw today. I don't know what made me think about it.

I typed this whole thing up, and then Gimpchat glitched. :gaah

Ok. I went to the PhotoEditorX site and they actually tell you it's Gimp, but never mention that Gimp is free software. I think they are getting away with it, by charging for their "training material". They claim to have 25 videos, adding up to 3 hours of video and 200 pages of instruction. The demo videos they have on the site are seriousely sped up, to make things look faster than they really are.

It's a shame the Federal Trade Comission doesn't get involved!

Also, some of the demo pix are from some tutorials I have seen!
