Here's how I see the moral issues surrounding giving away spare Origin keys from Humble Bundles: Humble Bundles are like packs of, say, Skittles (or M&Ms or Sour Patch Kids or whatever). Every Humble Bundle is a pack of Skittles that comes with one snack of each flavor (i.e. one red Skittle, one orange Skittle, etc). Humble Bundle tells you not to give any of your Skittles to anyone else, but a lot of people do.

Now Humble Bundle launches the Origin Bundle, a new type of Skittles packs. In these new packs, there are two snacks of each flavor instead of just one like previous packs had. They still tell you not to give any of them to others, but people still break that rule. Now, the argument a lot of people have been making on this forum is that it is wrong to keep one of each flavor for yourself and give the others away (i.e. keep one red Skittle and give away the other, keep one orange Skittle and give away the other, etc). But I say every Skittle is just the same, and there is no moral difference between giving away individual Skittles out of this pack and giving away individual Skittles out of the old packs.

Sorry for the awful analogy. If you were confused, a pack of Skittles is equal to a single Humble Bundle, each individual Skittle represents a license for a game, and each flavor represents a different game (i.e. the red ones might be Dead Space, the orange ones might be Burnout Paradise, etc)


Anyway, here are some free Skittles ;)
