the illegal bit is not selling backup coppies of the disks.
thats not illegal what so ever. without serials.
u cant legally transfare keys from pcs 2 another. because its sold with the PC bought.
no questions thats 100% ligit.
NB: also this is against ebay's rules so u will probs get a warning off ebay
but u physically can do it. that anit a problem. and when u phone and activate the product. they ask u a few simple questions.
u just answer
only installed on 1 pc
1st time u have activated the software
and the sticker is stuck on the side of the machine.
pretend like its just been bought from the shop, and u can get round it.
its strictly not legal. but theres nothing stopping you physically doing it.
also u will never ever in a million years ever get pulled up about this from MS or anybody else.0
