Well... You can buy "gold cards" and card writers to make cards for your satellite TV reciever so...
As long as it's just magnets and they're not sold as "Cheat the water plant and save money!!! magnets" everything should be fine.
It's like selling guns in the US... They are used for attacking and defending. As long as the seller only advertises them for defense, his ass is clear. If some gun-seller made an ad like "Buy a gun, make money robbing banks", it would obviously be illegal.
The "gold cards" have thousands of possible uses (even if only one is popular), and as long as the seller doesn't advertise it as useful for cheating the satellite companies, everything is good.

The Peer-to-peer filesharing networks is kinda the same, but it is a much more complex situation, so let's save that for another time ;-)
