Correct, it's not legal... and has nothing to do with Apache OpenOffice.
You've downloaded and installed ransomware on your computer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware

Probably similar to these schemes:

http://www.net-security.org/malware_news.php?id=2594
http://skyrunner.net/wordpress/continuing-news-on-the-cryptolocker-ransomware-virus-this-is-a-nasty-one-folks-take-precautions/

I recommend that you disconnect your system from the internet  take
your computer to a local computer expert/service and get it cleaned. You
might also want to report to the IC3 (FBI):

Which Forum, please? 

Your computer was compromised by some other site, which installed a redirection 
to a contaminated version of OpenOffice; unfortunately, as the code is public 
domain unscrupulous operators use it for such ransom demands. 

It is only recommended to download OpenOffice from 
[url]www.openoffice.org/download[/url] which will redirect to SourceForge 
servers where the files are stored. If one has any doubt about the integrity of 
the downloaded file, this can be verified as set out in
[url=http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html]How to verify a 
download[/url]

Depending on your operating system you may be able to restore it to a 
pre-infection restore point; You should backup any important work before doing 
this, should you choose to do so,

You should carry out an indepth virus scan using latest virus definitions, also 
a malware scan, also with latest definitions. I would suggest using Trend 
Micro's House Call, which will do a scan of your computer from their site. For 
Malware, MalwareBytes is well respected. 

I offer the above in good faith. It is your computer, you control the access to 
it and what happens on it.

That's wrong. It was you who installed it. Why do you follow links or run 
attachments from spam E-mails? Microsoft will NEVER send you 'update' 
E-mails.


There are many forums where volunteers deal with people's malware. We can 
tell what you have installed on your system instead of OO.

For what it's worth, this is not true, of course: Microsoft have been 
sending me e-mail messages about updates every month for some years. 
The most recent one arrived last Friday.
