Some years ago, I bought Jaguar install disks via e-bay. As it turns out, they were home-made copies with paper labels on them. I complained to the seller first, who said he thought they were legitimate since he didn't make them himself, but bought 100 sets of them from someone else. I complained to e-bay and Apple. Neither one responded to any of my e-mails, and the guy was still selling software on e-bay at least a year later. So. . . Apple doesn't seem at all interested in protecting their license. (Oh yeah, this was when Jaguar was still being sold in the stores, I should have mentioned.) After all, they let such a flagrant violator (not even an anonymous pirate, but an e-bay seller) get away with it. This certainly doesn't justify what Baha Ata has been saying.
