Web fonts are so weird, to display this site I had to download the advertised font as a .WOFF file to my computer. I now have a fully featured copy of what they are selling.

I know they are actually selling the license to use it but still it seems weird that any site that licenses and uses this will also be mass distributing it to peoples machines.

It's the same concept as Windows. You can (as in physically, not as in "it's allowed") download and use it without a license, and no one will care if it's just you personally, but expect lawyers if you're a big company.
