ffp/tbp infringement

Stealthsurfer.biz appears to be reselling Firefox and Thunderbird Portable (along with some other security software). I'm assuming when you buy their flash drive they give you more than just the installer, which would make this illegal.

What is illegal

Am I correct in thinking that if the drive contained just the binary installer for portable firefox (rather than the installed software), then it would be OK.

If so why are more people not doing this? It's a good product, plus the installer could be included on the drive in a non erasable 'CDROM' partition.

People are used to installing windows software from a CD. They would just need simple instructions to run the installer and point it to the flash drive.

Charging $100 is criminal for this product. The video is cool though:

The video

is cool and funny.
But I don't like people who scare others to sell their products!
