No, both. I thought the same when the topic started, but it appears he doesn't host the files. Like for example this explanation by Tom:

The thing is simple - he's not hosting any games, he's not putting them up and he's NOT DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL! All that guy does is points to places where the games are. So the site hosting the game would get in trouble. That's like if ESA would shut down GOOGLE for showing you a link to a warez site after you've been trying to find it. So that guy is simply charging you so he'd find the links for you - he's payed for browsing, not distributing protected games. That's the main reason he could not have been shut down. For crying out loud - Czech laws have nothing to do with it as they had to sign to respect the international copyright agreements before they joined the EU. So he could be touched by the law if he was doing something illegal. He's just doing something unfair!To follow up on the discusion - DO NOT CALL ESA ON THIS GUY!!! There's no legal grounds for them to act upon! I guess this should be also mentioned in the open forum - so no one could try and contact ESA (like Tom said he did).

It's actually easy to check for sure, but you'd have to pay once to that rat.
