Hello everyone! Just found
this resource that contains many well known fonts tagged
from MyFonts. But the download links do not lead to the MyFonts website, and registration is required instead.
Does anyone know if this is a pirate resource or a reseller?

According to the website, they seem to operate as a purchasing agent for people whose first language is not English and who may have difficulties purchasing e-products overseas. They appear to charge an agent fee of (a whopping) 33% of the retail price, but claim to take care of exchange rates, taxes, import tariffs, etc. I also suspect that they have a much better deal with banks than individuals, in terms of foreign currency transactions. In my opinion, this resembles designer purchasing licenses on behave of clients (minus the design and plus the agent fee).
Zigu.com operated by Beijing Zigu Technology Co., Ltd. is a commercial authorized website of genuine fonts. At present, it has obtained the Chinese mainland or global agency rights for a number of font brands, including: Aa Font Library, Zihun, Zimo Font, Huati Font, Siyu Font, Ma Ke Font, Ziyu Font, Qingke Font, Chanyu Font , Handan Font Library, Li Xuke Font, HyFont, Font.Gold, Font.Cafe, and provide MyFonts, Fonts.com, Fontspring, FontHaus, Font Bundles, Creative Market, Creative Fabrica, Type Network and other website platform font commercial authorization purchasing services.
I suppose, in the reports, the designer sees the license sale as a sale on MyFonts / Fontspring, etc., even if it sold on a reseller-reseller platform.
