will i break the eula if i did this?


only if you installed it and/or ran it on a non-apple-mac

BUT this wouldn't make you a pirate

to be a pirate you must do one of the following
a>steal the software (not pay currency  for it)
b>redistribute/copy  the software (without license to do so)
c>hold things/people for ransom,  fly the jolly roger etc..

BUT, if you install macOS X on a non-apple-mac,
you are definitely in breach of a contract.
You could get sued for breach of contract (here anyway), but you have not committed piracy

1.) Buy a License to run Mac OS X on Apple Branded hardware for $120
2.) Copy Mac OS X to your Pegasos and run it, though you don't have a license to do so.

Act 2 is still piracy.

It's PIRACY.


only depends on where you copied the MacOS X from, was it your own purchased copy or the neighbor's. ?
If it was your own purchased copy, then no, you're just a contract breacher, but if was a copy of the neighbor's it's piracy.
It's probably possible to buy the license without the media, which would be just a CONTRACT
Its possible to buy a disc without the license in pirate circles.

If the CD were just "media", instead of a delivery vehicle
then you could copy/distribute them ad-infinitum with legal impunity.  right?
