If Fluendo were to ever start taking our users' money and then run 
without giving them anything to download, we'd immediately stop linking 
to them.

If our users are getting an equivalent experience, shouldn't we consider 
temporarily removing our link to them until they fix the issue?  I 
understand it's not completely their fault and am sympathetic to their 
plight, but for us to ignore the problem is counter to the reason why we 
are linking directly to a web page we control.
