You think stealing from your local library is somehow better or more reliable than an OEM key? LOL

You think those 5 dollar "OEM" keys are legit? They are not. Plus, its a blanket license. The only one to count those is to get a physical machine count. If its a crime its victimless because they don't lose any access, microsoft just loses a buck and I dont give a fuck about a megacorp and their OS money

I didn't say they were legit. You seem to think that stealing keys from your local library is, though? Lmao

Its more legit than those 4 dollar cards on ebay. The key itself is anyway. I'm not really sure what your beef is when this harms no one.
