Legal/illegal - TM infringement????

I was searching for a Google Chromium link and came across this....

[link to illegal software removed by mod JTH] It mentions and has a link to portableApps.com, and links to the suite, but is the name, or site for that matter, legal? Only one letter difference in the name. What do you think?

I think Portable Apps and [name of illegal site removed by mod JTH] are ok. "Your digital life, anywhere" is trademarked and PortableApps.com has been pushed as the official name on this site instead of PortableApps.

IMHO the name itself it is legally okay although the Z is reminding me of wareZ.

the download link (which is rapidshare) can show that he might make changes on it (put virus etc) and why not link it to portableapps.com to download it?
