Hi All
I just want to raise a discussion point regarding threads pertaining to OSX on PC. I realise that running OSX on PC constitutes a breach of the licence agreement and => is illegal, but the issue is of major interest to the future of of the platform and probably constitutes a very valid subject for discussion on this particular forum.
A thread was closed yesterday which showed an example of OSX running on PC, and I wonder if we need to find a way to discuss the implications of this sort of thing without it disappearing in knee-jerk legalism. I recognise the forum rules on "pirated" software, but I wonder if we need to set a different rule in place for this specific and very important current issue.
I feel it is not as simple as a mere case of piracy, the issue is much deeper
and needs to be addressed at an appropriate level, not ignored or side stepped for convenience.
Your thoughts on how we should proceed?
