K. We aren’t talking about game theft, we are talking about a specific known issue that Microsoft has talked about. Thanks for linking to an unrelated article?
Did I say it was smart? It’s certainly against Microsoft’s TOS and they could revoke your license at any time.
That being said, theft from a corporation is a little different than theft from your neighbor. You are conflating those two ideas by implying this is theft from an individual.
What’s a grey market office key
If I understand it correctly, Microsoft sells discounted keys to organizations as part of their Volume Licensing for businesses.
Some places on the internet take advantage of that, and sell the keys individually.
More likely it is a key purchased with a stolen credit card. Do not use gray markets
Highly unlikely. The grey market keys are clearly for large companies. You couldn’t purchase thousands of keys with a stolen credit card.
Take this blog post from Factorio a few years ago, they much rather you pirate the game than use gray markets. (Second header)

Gray markets are just full of stolen stuff. To think something else is just fooling yourself.
Anyway, keep using it if you want but they are not “I am so smart for finding it cheaper” but rather “I don’t mind support illegal activities”
