I’m curious to know if the keys bought off this site would match any keys found in places like this: 
https://gist.github.com/jhermsmeier/5959110. Also, what would be the liability if you paid for the license and that key was pirated like this? 
To be clear, I agree with the advocation of getting these keys as inexpensively as possible. Just thought I’d throw this out there and maybe you could do a quick compare just in case.
