I'm just going to put an answer in here regarding legal vs possible. Take for instance travel.stackexchange.com:

Leaving Thailand after months long overstay - not once does an answer point out that "the S.S. Minnow is leaving from Bangkok port at 25:30 on June 31st and that the boatswain Scooby Doo will allow stow aways at the South loading zone in exchange for 4500 tam and will take you all the way to Atlantis in roughly 3.5 beard-seconds."

The site is not a legal advice site, but does address the most sensible ways to answer the question. On SU there could be several questions for the same subject matter that have varying degrees of on- and off- topicness:

• How can I force Adobe to accept my license key so I can use the (non-volume) license on 30 computers? (off-topic) - that's against the EULA
• How can I transfer an Adobe license from my laptop to desktop while keeping my laptop activated? (off-topic) - that's against the EULA
• How can I transfer an Adobe license from my PC to my macbook since my PC is in a river? (on-topic) That's against the EULA, but keys aren't interchangeable between versions.
• How can I transfer my Adobe license to my new Operating System after my HDD caught fire because squirrels used my computer for a place to store acorns? (on-topic) Did you plug in a toaster? Just call them with your key and let them know.
• How can I activate 700 machines with the same Adobe license (on-topic) You can't, that's against the EULA. If you need multiple activations, look into volume licensing.
• How can I activate 700 machines with the same Adobe license despite the fact that it's against the EULA? (off-topic) You know that's against the EULA and want to bypass it.

See the nuances? If a user is misunderstanding how something works - it's on-topic to explain to them why - it's useful information to them and to future visitors. If a user is looking for help in committing fraudulent activity and indicates the user is aware of what is being asked, it's not useful for the audience that we want to attract to our site.
