Not even sure if users broke the law. Just using a 3rd party cracked software doesn't necessarily violate laws (at least no criminal offence). The distributors and crackers clearly violated laws but any user with a cracked serial number was targeted. That also included people who might've received the number against payment from someone else and thought they had a genuine copy.
