A student buying a license key under their student discount and the giving it to the space is not keeping in good faith with the program http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/html/pbPage.StudentStoreTermsandConditions, essentially Synhak would be buying the license abusing a student's academic discount. As a non-profit entity we don't qualify for academic pricing as seen here: http://www.microsoft.com/education/en-us/buy/Pages/eligible.aspx.
As far as that cheap genuine key website, I have serious doubts to its legitmacy. The thumbnails are poorly cropped from a google image search rather than from Microsoft's reseller's materials, bad grammar everywhere on that website, and no verifiable information is provided as to the website's association with Microsoft. Buyer beware.
