No, this is not piracy.

Honestly, I'm not sure if we're on the same page. For me it's 59€ with the USB included. It's surprising how cheap it is when you buy in bulk—my experience was at a laptop repair shop where they had stickers on rolls... hundreds of them. That brings it down to 39€, which still feels a bit odd.
It seems they were designed for that purpose, yet the boundaries are unclear. A terms of service doesn't hold legal weight, particularly when it might breach EU regulations.
Looking at the bigger picture, this license lasts about a decade, making yearly Windows expenses minimal. I bought my license from Microsoft and connected it to my account. Now I have four workstations using the same key without any problems. Those looking for inexpensive, dubious keys should consider whether they’d choose something similar to pirated game codes.
