...is the money illegal? Also, is what you buy with the money illegal?

Keep in mind I'm asking about the money/what you buy with it, not the actual act of selling it, or having the software itself.

Since you have asked this before and apparently didn't like the answer, try this.

There are very few countries in the world where money in and of itself is illegal. In every situation I am aware of the only money that is illegal in those circumstances is foreign currency from countries that country deems to be unfriendly, immoral, or illegal in it's origin.

So here is the simplest answer for you.

NO, the money is not illegal.

At worst, the actions of the user are illegal and could be cause for forfeiture of said monies or resulting purchases using said money.
