OEM stolen ware, of which there is lots out there, I got bit by one of the 
many W7 offerings and lost ~ $125. MSFT said product key was "BLOCKED". 
Going to Microcenter I got a legal OEM version of W7 PRO that after some 
digging found out that it MUST be installed on a clean zeroed Hard Disk. I 
had purchchased lots at their store in Santa Clara until it closed. I never 
saw the store traffic needed to keep it there. MSFT offered a anytime 
upgrade from W7 Home Premium to W7 Pro and I got to the point of clicking 
BUY when MSFT said "NOPE"!

I got Paradox 10 years ago from a clothing surplus store in Florida, cleanly 
someone violated Corel's agreement.

I was hoping that it was a legit deal for "students" that someone could use 
my scanner software I built decades ago.
