Is Helvetica Neue free to use on any website or does it require any licensee fee?

I found a dozen of source, from where proper files (.otp, .ttf) can be downloaded and no sign of payment / license info. And I also found some places claiming, that using this font encorces paying for quite expensive license.

What is the current legal state of this font?

It's legal to ask the browser to use Helvetica Neue if it's available on the system, but you'd need a license if you want to serve the font yourself. One option is to use Helvetica Neue if it's system-installed and fall back to some other sans-serif font like Arial if it's not.

You can buy a license from places like www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/neue-helvetica/ or www.linotype.com/1266/neuehelvetica-family.html
