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.
