There is a "free" download of Machinarium on the following website:

I hope this website is not making any illegal actions

Hi RobotJosef /Rafael Bol /FloexFan,

Thanks for your concern but I had to delete the URL you posted because we absolutely do not allow links to questionable / pirated copies of Amanita Design games to ever show up on this forum.  Only legitimate Amanita Design links are acceptable.

FYI, the guys at Amanita Design are fully aware that pirated copies of their games show up all the time on the internet and there is no way to stop that.  (they even offered a "Machinarium Pirate Amnesty (http://amanita-design.net/forum/index.php/topic,1115.msg5419.html#msg5419)" a couple of years ago!)

But the REAL danger is that sometimes the pirated games contain Malware which can really and truly f* up your computer!  So the wise move is not to mess with that stuff.

Hey Alex,

Thanks for that. I'm really sorry the URL was not allowed, I'm new to the forums.

I would never download a illegal copy of games by Amanita Design, it would be so mean to the people who make these wonderful games.

Thanks again,

RobotJosef

Hey RobotJosef,

No worries whatsoever!  Your concern for the welfare of Amanita Design is very much appreciated.  We just have to be careful on this forum about links that might lead to unintended consequences.

Thanks again for your participation.
