No the original post came from someone in Germany, he/she is selling a Dutch 
produced CD-ROM. As to them being illegal, I don't think that there is any 
doubt that they are copies of games and not the originals. Which makes them by 
definition, in the US at least, illegal.

If the address is a fake then the poster is an idiot because who can respond 
to his offer if it is not his address?
