Presumably you can just (legally) re-sell the serial number? A friend of mine just bought a copy of Win XP online as the computer repair shop refused to fix his machine without one. The disk came sealed with a fake hologram, the disk was blank, but the serial appeared valid. The repair shop still wouldn't accept it, so he had to buy another one. Pretty crazy. The law around resale is valuable information for the public.
