Look, first of all, ALL americans are not like Marky boy here. Most of us, are normal, and not an anally retentive A**hole.
I agree 100% with the poster above. The box, Says os X. It does not say, OSX EULA. You are PURCHASING OSX. That is the deal. You pay for it, its yours to do with as you please. Apple has NO right to tell you what to do with said digital bits, as long as you do not break the copyright laws. EULA's dont hold up, end of story. You have purchase a CD, with digital bits on it. Nowhere on an os X box (and I am looking at one as I type!) does it say that you are purchasing a license. It advertises features, which are software. Now, I can do anything I please with said software.
Its punks like you that allow yourself to be tromped on and laws made that take away our rights as consumers. If I want to buy OSX and install it in the onboard ecm in my winnebago, I will damn well do it. I paid for it, and Apple has made their profit. Apple charges what they feel is a fair price. I paid that price, and now I can do as I please. If I chose to put the cd up on a pedastal and never install it at all, thats my choice.
You may be TECHNICALLY correct about the EULA, although I am sure it would be knocked down in court. What you don't realize, is that you are letting apple take away YOUR and my rights, by telling you what you can and cannot do with something you legitemately purchased.
Apple makes a profit, I don't care otherwise.
What I do with the CD which I purchased, and the software on IT which I purchased, is my business.
Whats next? Food companys selling food you can only put in certain refrigerators?
Come on, its really REALLY stretching the point to call someone who buys OSX and puts it on MOL a pirate!
