This is from their "Terms & Conditions" page:

"2.3. The software purchased cannot be registered with the manufacturer. Though all updates and system upgrades are available for you;"

So the easy answer is No.

The cheapest legitimate way I know of getting LR3 is as a student. Now, if you have children in even elementary school you can register them with one of the academic software companies (you send a copy of their recent report card). Adobe limits you to how many products you can buy but both PS and LR are available under this plan for substantial savings.

It's pirated, see their terms and conditions. If you want LR for cheap, ask a student to buy a copy
