Nah, you can spoof the MAC address (iirc, not all that unique either although chances of collission are low). I remember having my wifi router spoof the MAC address of my PC so the cable modem would play nice with it. That said, I reckon Amazon wouldn't bother spoofing either serial number or MAC address.
