To answer your question I am pretty sure Key Generators are illegal.

No, they are not illegal. Neither are No-CD cracks, copy CD cracks, trainers etc.
They are all legal. But if you use it in the wrong way to get access to a program that you didn't buy, then thats illegal.

Depends on your country, however I think that in the USA it is illegal to create, distribute or download them as they are in violation of the digital millenium copyright act.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawer and this is not legal advise.

Actually,
Keygens are not illegal in the US it's the pirated software you use it for that's illegal. Believe me, I ran a warez site (R.I.P) for 2 years before finally being shut down.. they didnt care about the keygens, but the actual applications.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On October 12, 1998, the U.S. Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, ending many months of turbulent negotiations regarding its provisions. Two weeks later, on October 28th, President Clinton signed the Act into law.
The Act is designed to implement the treaties signed in December 1996 at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Geneva conference, but also contains additional provisions addressing related matters.
As was the case with the 'No Electronic Theft' Act (1997), the bill was originally supported by the software and entertainment industries, and opposed by scientists, librarians, and academics.
Highlights Generally:
· Makes it a crime to circumvent anti-piracy measures built into most commercial software.
· Outlaws the manufacture, sale, or distribution of code-cracking devices used to illegally copy software.
