So if these are Big Name Brands
How exactly would you know that you have a Pirate copy of any Microsoft Product?

It's one thing deliberately buying a Pirate Copy but I'm guessing here that most people who buy these systems don't know what it is that they are buying exactly.

I've seen the same thing in Au with some resellers who's ethics leave a lot to be desired selling complete systems with Volume License Product that they purchased as an Action Pack on all systems that they sell and passing them off as Genuine.

If you can find a way to make a couple of hundred $ per unit that is a massive profit for them and a great reason why they would want to do things like this. The Profit on selling Hardware is next to nonexistent so the License Costs of Microsoft Product is a great incentive for many. Doesnt matter what the costs of the License are to those its pure profit which is something that they simply would never be making doing things the right way.
