Probably the latter, not that it's any better.

sad when the honorable ones get infiltrated.
This last month has set my expectation that next month + next month is too many CVE's and I'm plugging the dam hole with my finger.

It used to infringe Amazon's patent; which is why it has only become common recently. Not illegal.

It is where I live. Not going to create an account to check if it is enabled there as well.

If they don't have any presence in and don't actively target your region, your local laws and regulations might not be the ones that govern the transaction, though. Not sure if Humble Bundle has crossed that threshold yet for most of their non-US markets.

I don't know about illegalness, I pressed "Get your games" button accidentally and it immediately deducted 12,99€ from my Paypal account without confirmation. What the hell.

Definitely illegal in Germany at least as any payment button needs to be clearly labeled as buying/paying for something. Probably illegal in more places as that button description doesn't really indicate that you are agreeing to a purchase.
Is this actually illegal in a jurisdiction or against ToS of payment providers and they can get permanently banned from using card payments?
