On the other hand, using it to circumvent copy protection or to activate a product you didnt pay for is illegal, but that's down to the individual (and the applicable laws in their country). ![]() It is not copyright infringement, and it is not piracy no matter your opinon. At the very most, a serial would be nothing more than trademark infringement, and only if it has been registered as a trademark. If I remember correctly this was/is also the case for encryption keys, like those used to crack BluRay which every man and his dog had for a forum sig at one time because there was nothing illegal about displaying a string of numbers or letters. From what I know, you cannot copyright a number or any other alphanumeric string, you can have one as a registered trademark, but not copyrighted. If I say 123, and that just happens to unlock some random piece of software, then I just committed piracy, that is the folly in your argument. ![]()
