    Windows 10: Buyers of cheap keys are summoned to the police

    It's tempting when you don't pay more than 100 euros for Windows, but can get a key on eBay and Co. for a fraction of that. But the source of these licenses is usually dubious to illegal and always a case for the prosecutor's office.

    Because as Tarnkappe reports (via Dr. Windows), these days many buyers of such license keys (for Windows 10 and older) receive summonses from the prosecutor's office. They are asked to testify at the local police station. It is somewhat curious that some of the cases or eBay key purchases date back more than ten years.

    The accusation with which the persons concerned are asked to appear sounds serious: Because in the letters, the recipients are accused of "frivolous money laundering" as well as "criminal copyright infringements". According to Tarnkappe, the purpose of these statements is for users to incriminate themselves.

    The argument: the buyers should have known that things could not be right with such low prices of only a few euros. The question is: Do you really have to go there and incriminate yourself? We cannot and do not want to answer this, but Günter Born refers in this context to pages of lawyers who are dedicated to the subject.

    Refuse to make a statement at first

    Kläner Rechtsanwälte, for example, writes: "At best, a hasty statement to the investigators will not cause any damage. At worst, however, you incriminate yourself and usually in the assumption that you could clarify the matter. If, for example, you voluntarily admit to having installed Windows 10 with the purchased license on your computer, you have already confessed to the objective facts of a copyright infringement under Section 106 UrhG and have fallen for the investigators' trap."

    Tobias Kläner therefore advises: "Please always bear in mind that as the accused you have the right not to make a statement. You should always make use of this for the time being."

    After that, you should demand to see the files and, if necessary, get a lawyer involved. This is recommended anyway, because it is also not exactly clear which cases are being prosecuted here at all. It can be assumed, however, that it is about the particularly cheap keys of only a few euros and not about cases like that of the well-known key dealer Lizengo.

    However, cheap is not automatically illegal. Because legal sources for cheap software keys do exist. MySoftware, for example, is a long-time partner of WinFuture and offers Windows licenses as well as other software keys for business and private use at low prices.

    The question is not which is legal and which isn't.
    Rather which does work.
    In my experiences cracks for windows haven't worked forever after implementing them.
    It has worked for a period of time, then suddenly appeared the black desktop background and the alert that your license is invalid (or whatever was to alert). It has probably been related to windows defender updates.

    So, if you can get Windows on a pc for 1-2 bucks and never ever have to repair that license again, that sounds better for me than the other (free) option.
    If you are concerned about legal issues, buy the damn software from an authorized seller!

    Side-note:
    You can find MS 365 annual (hardbox and digital) licenses in real retailers for much cheaper price than on MS' site.
    So, this is not easy for an ordinary customer to figure out which web shop will sell a legal key and which won't.
    In those countries where prosecutors chase you, I would argument that way. The price does not matter, nobody can expect from a customer to be able to investigate which license is legal, just based on the low price.

    The question in these stories is rather ethical than criminal. You pay a few bucks in order to solve a software issue to a company that got licenses for hundreds of machines in a corporate contract and they sell the unused ones for others.

    I've been using WIndows since the days of NT4. I've only ever used cracks. I've never had a problem with them not working.

    MS doesn't care about piracy really. If they did more people would be considering using Linux. The data they mine once Windows is setup earns them enough, they have telemetry code even in open source projects of theirs. Also Windows isn't their main or even significant source of income either

    Don't use KMSPICO etc. Use MAS 1.5 for permanent digital license

    You have never had to reactivate the crack? Windows defender has never cought it time to time?
    It was common issue even in Win7 with win security updates.

    TX for the info BUT you can find both Windows 10 and Windows 11 at better prices, as low as 3€, on eBay and other similar sites.
    I have purchased more than 5 licenses in the last couple of years for me and my family and they all work flawlessly.

    So if I've bought Win 11 Home, but rather would want Win 11 Pro, I can upgrade with this code? Or does it update a machine from Win 10 to Win 11 as well?

    No, never. It might have happened a couple of times back in the days of XP but it's so long ago I don't recall. I've had to do it occasionally with the Office crack but never with the OS crack. And I'm still running Windows 7.

    I turn Windows Defender off though. I run Malware Bytes and keep good backups but don't bother with antivirus software.

    I'm not interested in Windows 10. I'd like a crack for the ESU edition of Windows 7 though.

    Shouldn't KMS take care of any Windows installation activation? MAS should work then also.

    I wouldn't even touch Windows 11 if it was free. I'm not supporting this anti consumer ecosystem anymore. If you want to be OWNED by Microsoft, be my guest and use Windows 11...

    Oh come on! What are you using there Linux, and if you're in the Mac camp you certainly can't tell me Apple doesn't own its user base!

    My ten year old PC's are still functional and usable. My ten year old iPads/iPhones are just useless lumps of glass and silicon.

    The best way I've found to get windows keys cheep is to buy/aquire old Office & call centre compuiters. the offices all throw them out when windows stops supporting the opperating system. Even when the windows upgrad is free.

    An engineering firm I worked for disposed of half their computers when windows 10 came out and replaced them with new. For the other half they bought windows 10 licences, even though they where running windows 7 & 8 so were eligable for the free update.

    one of my computers runs a windows key from one of the machines they threw out, the others are from ebay PCs.

    you can get a windows key and a spud computer thats only done word processing in a office for less then £30.

    I guess it's free if your willing to climb into a bin to retreave it yourself.

    These Kind of Windows Keys come most of the Time from Volume Licenses of Companys which haven't used all and sell them to resellers or are unused OEM Keys which orginally are only designed for Computer Manufacturs. Most of the Time there is no Problem with this cheap Keys, but it can happen that the Key will be banned and you loose your money. And it's not true that Microsoft doesen't care about piracy they don't care for private people, but if you are a company they defenitly care about it (Because this is their biggest money pig Licenses and Support for Windows, Office 365 and Stuff like that. And about the Fact that People would use more Linux if Microsoft would be more strict with stopping Keygens etc. i don't think so because i can tell that Linux never will be for people without expanded Computer Knowledge and is more in use for Webserver because of the lightweight. By the Way if someone wants to use a real operating System go for customized Solaris Versions, incredible Features like ZFS and so on unfortunately the orginal Developer Company was sold some Time ago to Oracle and the smashed it against the wall but there is an open souce path of Solaris. In Terms of Security i would recommend QubesOS, but there is the Point that it will only work full featured with a limited amount of prefered machines.

    Yep these keys are stolen or not for retail consumers. Windows has literally become WinRAR at this point.

    Did you mean to write:
    "I see a lot of posts"?
    Is there a law against people writing the word "I" nowadays? It seems to be missing from the beginning of almost every sentence I see in comments all over the internet nowadays.
