Running Two Serial Cracked Games on LAN.. Is it legal?

[Coldkilla]

I have two copies of Rome Total War & ever since I've lost all my serial keys for all of my games.. i was wondering if this is possible:

1. To find two cracked serials and have them work together (I tried this and it didnt work, I was wondering if there was a way to)
2. Is it legal?
3. If it is legal, how would I go about doing this? For the game to work online is not that important, i just want to play against my little bro in a game of one on one
4. if it isnt legal.. ppplease tell me, so i can see if I can purchase new keys from the company.. or even if they do that.. otherwise i'll have to repurchase both copies of the game

No warez talk allowed here, and yes its illegal.

@Coldkilla
Go with option #4. That is contact the publisher for replacement keys, they may give them to you if you provide proof of purchase of your game, but then they may not!
As DABhand has already said, yes it is illegal to download keys.
