Since serial numbers are essentially proof of purchase
(when used in conjunction with the registration process),
and since I BELIVE that everything included on a Director
CD is covered by the license agreement(aside from 3rd party material),
distribution of serial numbers would most likely
be considered illegal. If not explicitly illegal under piracy
laws, it could easily be considered 'criminal facilitation' in
civil law.
(It's like handing out car keys from the local BMW dealership)
At the very least it is illegal to possess because of the assumed criminal
intent.(You have the key so it could be inferred that
you intend to use it - same reason drug paraphernalia is
illegal to have etc...).

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> director 8.5 serial :-)
Our mail server has been down and I missed all the fun!! :(
Why do such furores happen only when I'm not around....
BTW...is what Bhakti saying, true? If it isn't legal to give out your
serial number, then why is it displayed on the splash screen everytime
Director opens? Someone can just look over your back and copy it.
Just wondering...
Regards,
Pranav

hey, it's his serial number, he can do what he likes with it. it's legal
to resell it, give it away, or do whatever you want with a serial number
you paid for.
the fault is with the person that uses a number they got in an
unauthorized way, not with the person disseminating that number.
