Aren't both MAK and KMS keys for volume licenses, ie not relevant to consumers? Any end user trying to use a KMS or MAK key got scammed by whoever sold that key to them...

Reselling parts of a volume license to consumers is entirely legal in the EU, first sale doctrine applies. This has been exhaustively litigated to the highest courts.
