I'm going to jump in on the side of the OP here. If he's using someone else's LEGIT keys, it's not piracy. The game was paid for and the keys are legitimate. There's absolutely nothing wrong with giving someone your key, if you are no longer using it. It's like if he posted on marketplace and someone offered them for free. Just no exchange of media was required.
My friends and I do this often. I have no less then 3 copies of Warcraft III and Frozen Throne, but I somehow have no keys any longer. I'm terrible about hanging on to them. I am also without a key for my legit copy of Diablo II. Civ IV I think as well. *shrug* I'll borrow a buddies key to install and play while he's not using it. I'll play for a few months, then relinquish the key to someone else. The ONLY thing is that according to some EULA, you aren't supposed to be able to transfer, via sale or gentlemen's agreement, the license to someone else. Meh! Nobody listens to that, obviously, because ebay is FULL of used video games.
So, anyone care to share with me how this is piracy? He's not asking about where to download a copy at. Frankly, even no-CD patches aren't piracy. I know more people that run their legit, paid games with no-CD patches or with mounted .iso than I do people who even play pirated games.
