This is one of the dumbest threads ever to circulate. You all aren't ever going to agree. What is the point?
I do agree. My opinion is that it depends on the version of the OS. If it's Panther or Tiger, yes, I do agree that they should include the discs if it's not the stock OS, but if it's Jaguar, Puma, or even back in the OS 8-9 days, no I don't think it's piracy. People lose discs, it's a fact of life. I have a copy of SuSE Linux that I still can't find, and I've got a full licence for it. Up until recently, I couldn't find the OS 7.1 disks I got way back in the olden days. That's just my $0.02, but I'm not an expert on copyright law, or any other law. FYI, I bought my Lombard with OS X Jaguar on it, and it didn't have the discs. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm not going back to OS 8.5, even though I have the original recovery disc.
