First, the rule on the list is *bottom posting* -- post your reply 
*after* what you're replying to -- like I'm doing.

Second, it is a copyright issue. Fair use allows you and me to make 
changes to something we've purchased. You can hack iDVD until the cows 
come home; that's fair use.

What you cannot do is modify iDVD and distribute a modified version or 
create a program to modify iDVD for others. That violates copyright 
because it's no longer a personal use, which is what fair use covers.

Publishing step-by-step details that a user can follow to hack a personal 
copy of iDVD -- that would be legal.
