I will dispute that "LEM could theoretically be held liable". The site mentioned does not have any files, just links to APPLE'S OWN SITE. The same links appear on Google or any other search engine, and Apple hasn't tried to take them down. "Apple's rules" don't apply to anyone except Apple employees. However since proving that in court against Apple's lawyers would bankrupt a smaller company, let alone individual who tried to dispute the point, I don't blame Dan for not wanting to fight such a battle. On http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/g-list.shtml Dan says "Never post a link for Apple Service Manuals." He doesn't say you can't request someone to send you a link off list. Unless he modifies this, I think it's excessively kowtowing to Apple to carry it so far. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
