Yep. NewTek have bought the rights to the IP lock, stock and both smoking barrels. Since the plugins weren't distributed with any form of license, then I'm afraid it's now illegal to obtain them from anywhere except direct from NewTek.
If you follow this thread over at NewTek's forums, there's a whole at length discussion over the morality of whether these should continue to be free or not...
