Just because software is made available using a public web server does not mean that you are free to use it as you please. It's distributed along with a ToS agreement that governs its use.
Bringing in words like "illegal" can be fraught because I don't think we've seen a court case (in the US at least) about exactly how binding a "click-wrap" agreement actually is, but there's no question that projects like the one linked upthread violate the terms of the software license.
