Are these software download sites legal?

Not exactly sure which forum this question belongs in, so my apologies if it's in the wrong area...

I've been hunting for some cheap image editing software and ran across a few sites that are selling a lot of popular software titles for cheap via downloaded ISOs. An example is In the T&Cs, these companies all state the software needs to be activated via their company and not the manufacturer, and they also state you do not receive tech support from the manufacturer. Would I be purchasing a legal piece of software if I bought from these companies? They appear legit, but I'm still skeptical.
