    Hello guys,
    I have a big question. Is it illegal to give cd-keys as rewards on GPT sites?
    In my opinion the owner of the website buy them legally so it cant be illegal.Right?

    It would depend on the license agreement on the original purchase. At a guess, without knowing more, I'd say he's breaking the terms of the license and what he is doing is illegal. The license probably isn't his to sell or give away as the rights to the license don't belong to him. He just purchase the use of a license for his own use, not the resell (or give away) rights.
