An ebay seller from a legitimate company (globalcommsuppliers.com) is selling copies of Panther, he got from WWDC, for $30. I emailed him (not the address on the auction page) and asked him if they were cd-r's. He said they are cd-r's. I'm not sure if i should buy or not. I would rather have orginal disc.

What do you think?
 
I hope Apple's Legal Department notices this soon and sends over a few real panthers to deal with them. This is just wrong on so many levels.
 
as useful as ebay can be i pretty much cant stand it
its where the ruthlessness of people become way too obvious and most people make me sick in the first place.
i hope they bust this dude.
 
wow...I cannot wait to see this get pulled from Apple legal... 🙄

I wouldn't purchase a CD-R of a BETA OS...u are just asking for problems IMO.
 
i dunno it might take a while but it is against ebays policy to sell cdrs.....also the apple never seemed to pursue taking down auctions that sell ifnormation on how to get adc products cheaply
 
When something like this happens I question the person integerity.

Is he a loyal Mac user that wants to spread Panther to the people within a reasonable cost.

Or is he someone that downloaded Panther and though to himself "I could make a couple of bucks of stubborn Mac crazy people".

Wait until the full release, this is pirating software believe it or not.

You know whenever you install something, it come up with a user license agrrement, it's in violation of that.

Welcome to the community, Sabenth! Sounds like your iMac must have a good amount of memory in it. Yes, stick with the 10.2 (Jaguar). Panther is beta code, it's not finished or ready yet.

damn dude, ever heard of punctuation? 😛




yeah, this is just wrong. and this is software piracy...it's one thing to put panther dp up for download, but to actually make money off it too, that's not right. hope he gets arrested.
