At best, you're making an argument that rapidshare or whatever upload service isn't violating the Apple copyright or EULA, but what you described (someone who doesn't legally own the software obtaining it from that source) is most definitely illegal. The fact that you can find a legal use of rapidshare, however, doesn't prove that they aren't violating laws. (It would be like a bank robber pointing to the thousands of times he walked into a bank and didn't rob it as a defense.) The context of your advice was NOT someone who owns the software making a backup copy and storing it on rapidshare for their own use within the license agreement.
