After using winrar for years (after using rar years before that... not sure if it's the same company), I finally bought to copies a few years back. One for myself, one as a Christmas gift to a friend.
rar and winrar are from the same dude (Roshal ARchive, he named it after himself) and his brother handles the business side of things, been this way since the 90s. I THINK they're still the owners of it. But these days, the company is registered in Germany and the legal representatives are actually some Turkish guys. I suspect it's because they founded the company in Germany but live in Russia themselves and perhaps Germany requires legal representatives to be residents? Anyway the company's been the main distributor since like 2002 so at the very least it's still the same company it was 24 years ago.
