Why people asks for keys, serial numbers, and so... for free?

Why so many people asks for software registration keys, serial numbers, product keys, activation keys for free? They already know those need payments. If they couldn't afford to buy it, why don't they just use open source software?

    Oho! I can understand you but same as I can feel those peoples who demand these things.It is piracy to crack any software or program by keygen,patch or any serial numbers provided by the sites.But you know it doesn't means this that they can't buy it.If they can get an internet connection with a computer then it is clear that they can buy,ok.

    But here is an another condition that when you got any thing which you want for free it gave more excitement compression to buy it.but it is illegal at other hand it is hobby for those people who have no work in their computer.

    yes ur queson does answer ur question but they take the keys because they know they can get them in many sites for free and avail the software, though they use the key it will be illegal as they have records in their site, now the first one to use the key will be the genuine owner wether he stole it or bought it, plus its not so difficult to crack some softwares and make them legal even if they are not like windows are VERY VERY SIMPLE to crack but we better not do it coz its not legal,

    People want paid quality programs for free. Why would they pay when they can easily get it free. Some people are legitimate and pay for their programs , some are not.
