Cinebench R20 download taken offline after legal threat from Maxon
We have been happy to report that Maxon released a new revision of its CineBench benchmark Release 20. Unfortunately, Maxon has made a legal threat against Guru3D.com and is forcing us to take the Cinebench R20 download offline.
Maxon Computer GmBh will only allow the download of Cinebench R20 through UWP (Microsoft Store). Though we strongly feel that this is a community tool which belongs in the public domain we obviously totally need to respect what the publisher deems appropriate for them. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.
You can download Cinebench R20 through the Microsoft Store through this link.

Boycot something that's free? Elaborate...
Nothing is ever free. They sell all your private data to third parties the second you click "ok". Heck, many apps on the microsoft store are given permission for all system resources which allows use pretty much anything they want. Best part is, many of such apps don't even give you the ability in Windows privacy setttings to prevent the app from accessing what it wants.
This is what Microsoft says:
The Privacy page won't list apps with permission to use all system resources. You can't use the Privacy settings to control what capabilities these apps can use. Windows Desktop apps fall under this category. To see the permissions for an app, go to the app product page in Microsoft Store or online. If you don’t want an app to use any of the features listed, you can choose not to install it.
Here's more info on what permissions allow an app to do:
All system resources: Use any and all system resources (such as camera, microphone, or location) without further notification. You can't control app permissions for individual system resources via the Privacy page.
Account Info: Access any of your account info.
Bluetooth: Activate and use any Bluetooth connections between your device and other devices.
Contacts: Access your contacts, people, or address book apps.
Calendar: Access your calendars.

Email: Access your email and account info for your email accounts.
Facial recognition: Activate and use any facial recognition hardware.
Fingerprint reader: Activate and use any fingerprint reader hardware.
Location: Activate and use the GPS or other location-finding features on your device. Access location data in Maps and other location apps.
Messaging: Access your instant messages and account info.
Microphone: Activate and use the microphone on your device.
Motion: Activate and use the accelerometer or other motion-sensing feature on your device.
Music library: Access any music files from the Music library on your device.
Near field communications: Activate and use any near field communications (NFC) connections between your device and other devices.
Notifications: Access your notifications, found in action center.
Pictures library: Access any picture files from the Pictures library on your device.
Tasks: Access your task list in Outlook and other task-tracking apps.
Video library: Access any video files from the Video library on your device.

This is not included in the appx in a license document, so their restrictions Break at the microsoft store page, as at this point, it is no longer provided by the maxon website, and the restrictions here of are not legally binding at any point.
The law is not vague, "This site" will be the maxon domain only, and the software is no longer provided on the domain so Restrictions are not applicable.
Of course now they are free to correct this mistake.
You're not getting it from the MS store in our example in this thread. Do you know why this thread exists? Please pay attention the topic of the thread prior to posting. You'll look less silly.

You quoted the maxon site, the package was not obtained from the maxon site.
