I didn't see the original message, but I thought I should comment. offering to help with software or offering to acquire software is not a copyright offense UNLESS there is an offer to acquire it illegally or crack it to bypass copyright protections. also, US copyright laws are usually not enforceable in other countries unless there is a treaty in effect.
now the man sent an email to the list when it was supposed to be sent to a private individual. now, is it a violation of apple's EULA for me to run their OS on unsupported hardware. technically yes. However, since I purchased the OS X disk (retail from apple) and there is case law stating that apple cannot keep me from running said software on unsupported hardware, I am not technically in violation of the law.now, apple is not going to bring a case against me for this because it benefits them for me to do so (I debug drivers and find problems, which get reported to the apple dev team). this allows apple to better evaluate their code and make corrections or remove bugs. also, there was a recent appellate court ruling that narrows the scope of DMCA, thus allowing me to be able to run the OS where I want it simply because I own the dvd upon which the OS installer files are placed. I am not a lawyer, so it is suggested that you check with one over any of the points made. end of off topic post )and thread I hope). -Eric On Oct 31, 2011, at 5:20 PM, Ben Mustill-Rose wrote: > Hi, > > What would you rather he do instead? > > On 01/11/2011, Kristyn Leigh <[email protected]> wrote: >> An apology is not sufficient for providing illegal versions of copyrighted >> materials to anyone.
