Trialware and DRM - Softwrap

I was looking at the "Trialware and DRM - Softwrap" feature, clicked the link in Installaware but its dead.

Trialware and DRM
eCommerce services are provided by Softwrap. Sign up for your Softwrap certificate.
http://www.installaware.com/softwrap.asp

google says:
"May 25, 2013 - Softwrap Limited, a company that provides e-commerce and DRM solutions for digital products, will cease trading on 1st September 2013."

Why is it still marketed/promoted/available/enabled/accessible/distributed/implied in your software as a useable feature, when its clearly not?
So every InstallAware deployment package built using this is now useless/dead?

Apart from the "ethics" of this, I'm not impressed as it was a feature we were looking at using.

Dear TheVman,

it has no ethical implications ... because the DRM feature is fully usable with our product.
Of course, those complementary and additional services not provided by US and not included with our product (as the eCommerce services), of course these are not available due current status of the provider ... but for these, there are many possible alternatives available over the web.

Anyway ... we are currently evaluating possible alternatives.

Regards
