right lets put this crap to bed...
First of all I don't CARE if its not america etc... it still IS illegal over there that was the POINT.
as for a UK loophole... prove it?
where's the facts to back this up.
you've given me no evidence.
the fact your condoning things that are illegal elsewhere (still illegal after all... murder is murder you wouldn't say its ok if it wasn't a crime elsewhere would you... I know thats abit strong but still the point is there.)
straight from a guide of how to do it...
ISO Copyright Notes
Various hackers have released hacked ISO torrents that can be installed on PCs. However, this violates the Apple EULA agreement and there are legal issues with using the ISOs. The legal ways to obtain a copy would be:
1) Become an Apple Developer ($500 membership)
2) Buy a real mac, deactivate the copy of OS X and install it on a PC (this way would be pointless because the whole point is to run OS X without getting a mac). This way also somewhat violates the EULA because the agreement says that you can't run OS X on non-Apple hardware.
Its best to get a legal copy of the ISO because then you can install the software without worry about malicious software or about the software phoning home.
and if anyone knows enough about the EULA along with the ways and means of the law and using it it'd be the people (the hackers) who put time and effort into making it possible...
as after all they didn't set out to do it illegally most of the people that did this did it with retail copys... and as their interested it really making it work and not a jerk off to apple to get one over on buying a legit copy... instead they just want a cheaper alternative (had it been legal) hence finding out all the facts of it.
sure there are tons of people that do just want a free ride but not all hackers/developers/modders of code have bad intension's.
so yeah fair enough if he really really was innocent but the point is "custom install discs" or whatever you want to call them are purely illegal iso's put out on the net.
I really fail to believe anyone would pay a $500 dev license and then have a real mac aswell and yada yada yada only to still be breaking the EULA.
show me some proof about UK licenses etc and I'll listen.
I still believe if somethings illegal somewhere it's still illegal...
I mean we have enough reps and stores in the UK the same with windows so I fail to see why there wouldn't be proper solid rules as the US or with windoze
