I very specifically said that my observation that Apple is (or was)  
not interested in enforcing their copyright is no justification for  
piracy.  It was the sentence right after the text you quoted me saying.

No. Baha is saying that it's okay to get that software from  
rapidshare.com, and that it's okay for someone to duplicate and  
upload the OS for distribution that way.

I think the best solution is to ask for disks from the people who  
sold him a G4 with that OS installed on it--powermax.com.  I think  
they either have to provide him with those disks or stop selling  
machines with that OS installed on it.  I'll bet in their  
descriptions of the computer they are selling them with OS whatever.   
If that's the case, they're breaking the license agreement if they  
don't provide a set of disks with each one.
