The indie version is $280, and the free trials require either a business name or proof that you're a student to download. I don't feel like committing fraud to port these models to Blender.

I really don't want to come off as combative, but I really can't think of any other way to say this.
Unless someone manages to convert the 3dsMax Script to a blender importer, we're going to keep having to use 3ds Max. And pirating it is the easiest way to get it for people who don't have student accounts or similar.
I actually attempted to look at the code of the script, but it was so technical, and I know nothing of python or MaxScript, so I just didn't bother. If you want to give it a shot, feel free to, but until that day comes, we'll have to keep managing with 3ds Max. And if you manage to do it, I'll congratulate you and use your script to import the models directly into blender instead of using 3ds Max as proxy.
Again, I don't mean to come off as combative, but this is the only way I could think of to say it.
