    "Remember, Microsoft DOES NOT sell you the Windows Software. They sell you the License to USE Windows Software."

    You posted that missive to me. I responded. Your whereabouts are irrelevant.

    The subject of this thread is cheap keys on ebay, and they are mostly stolen, generated, obtained by questionable means, mak, used up coem keys which need communition with msft, used coa's, etcetc..., that's the subject, you can 10 times post that law rulement, it's not applicable to the subject of this thread.

    Irrelevant ????? The Laws in the USA have NOTHING to do with the EU.

    So why are you trying to tell other people what they can and cannot do?

    I do not know the situation in the US. Therefore I have not commented on that.

    It's not me. Have you ever read the EULA ? Ask Brad Smith about the Law.

    If a third party does not get permission from Microsoft or the developer, of course, it is illegal ;) . Many people Who Successfully Entered This Trap;) They Think By Buying A License In A Third Party Their License Is Completely Legal Even We Don't Know Whether A Third Party Has Got Permission From Microsoft Or Not :( . Very sad :(

    Just to be honest my Bro ;) @havanhoa
    I don't care do you belive it or not :)
    You can thinking about this ASAP
    stop and do not get fooled by cheap price ;)
    You even don't know if that third party already become partner official for microsoft or not so that's it's ;)

    And Then What If You Want To Purchase A Deadline Product (Ex:Win 7) ?
    Well I Have No Idea What To Do We Are Forced To Buy In Third Party ;)
    Even That Third Party Not Get Premission From MS But We Have No Choice That's It's because a product that is almost dead is impossible to sell licenses on the official website of the developer
    Because Product Reach Dead Line LOL
    (I hope you understand some of this msg translated by google translate thank you google translate)

    Hi Buddy Do You even know what are you doing? :)
    It is much better you purchase from microsoft or it's partner
    Prefer not purchase or buy win 10 license?well it's ok windows can still be fully functional it's just that the features are limited (example: personalization and it's friends) ;)
    And what about win 7 and some edition of win 8 8.1? (Win 7 and some edition of win 8 8.1 will turn wallpaper into blank wallpaper when you not activate it)
    Well no comment we are forced to use crack otherwise you should purchase license (again)from microsoft or it's official partner ;)

    The first sale doctrine, which you keep referring to, does not apply to those keys, because of (quite literally) one sentence in the EULA, which you should "read for yourself"..
    You do not have the right to resell those licenses under the first sale doctrine as you are not the copyright holder, you merely are licensed to use the software.

    The first sale doctrine applies if and only if you are the copyright holder, which you aren't, because that's not what you buy from Microsoft. You are only licensed to use it.

    The "keys form ebay for a couple bucks" are always either used, stolen or are NFR keys from MSDN.
    • Used keys are not genuine - illegal.
    • The same keys sold multiple times - breaks the EULA - illegal.
    • Stolen keys - pretty obvious.
    • MSDN keys - their distribution is prohibited by the MSDN EULA - illegal.
    The original DVD is the only thing you rightfully are the copyright owner of. This is the only thing you can distribute for the second time.
    Still, pretty worthless as the ISOs are freely available from Microsoft and you still require a license to rightfully use them in accordance with the EULA.

    Of course it isn't, but it's not the software you're the owner of.

    Well, the EULA is a legal contract which you must sign before installing Windows, so they have some control over the laws .-.

    Who's the one spreading false information here? >.<

    You don't have a Clue
    Brad Smith is Legal Council for Microsoft & can close down MDL if we cross the line

    Conclusion:
    To purchase and use product legally
    You should purchase it from official website (developer)or it's partner as i said before

    And This Too! :) ;)

    Well except if you want purchase a dead line product (Products that are almost reach EOS Like Windows 7)
    Microsoft usually doesn't sell products that are almost dead (Dead Line Or Almost Reach EOS Like Windows 7) :) ;)
    Due to official developer are not selling a dead line product we're forced to use crack or buy from third party even that third party reseller not gain any premission from official developer :) ;)

    It's also no longer a product, but a service...
