I think someone needs to call him up and pretend to be from Apple. Ask him where you can serve him with papers for the lawsuit. LOL
It's basically to Apple to enforce any civil action.

There's a difference between 'breach of contract' and 'illegal.' No legislature has passed any laws making it illegal to sell access to Apple's beta test. There are no laws protecting beta tests. There is, however, a contract that all developers agree to stipulating that they will not give access to non-developers through their accounts; your Craigslist guy is willing to breach that contract knowing that Apple will probably never bother going after him for it.
Of course there are laws making it illegal. It's called copyright law.
That law does not apply here.
Apple don't sell iOS updates - so they are free to the public upon release, anyway. Apple have their own agreements with developers not to distribute beta software - punishment for doing do is having their dev account revoked.
1. The question was about Baltimore, MD, USA. Not South Africa.
2. South Africa obviously has copyright laws.
None of that is true with respect to copyright law.

Copyright does not apply. Downloading the beta does require agreement to an NDA. Whatever laws in your country might apply is not important, because Apple might sue because of your NDA contract violation.
You probably should read his second paragraph.
Oh jeez - I hope it isn't illegal. I've been charging my family & friends to install iOS 6 on their devices since last December!
I don't think it is illegal. iOS 6 is free and downloadable everywhere. What you charging is for the process of installing iOS 6, not charing for iOS 6 itself.
Illegal is gray. Definitely a terms violation if he's selling UDID slots. Which will get him banned if caught and those UDIDs with him.
But whether they could sue him etc, maybe maybe not
Copyright always applies. Distribution and reproduction of a computer program requires the permission of the copyright holder subject to specific limitations.
I read his second paragraph. It is incorrect.
