Wasn't the ban on resale of licenses declared illegal at least in some countries? In that case, second hand licenses would very well be legal, even if Microsoft doesn't like them.

I don't know, but I would be surprised if such a ruling applied to licenses that were never intended for the country they are resold in.

Those licenses are mostly from education institutions or from company MSDN subscription. I.e. from rogue IT admins that abuse their power.
