About my previous thread - Installing Leopard on my iMac

But your dad is supposed to install it on his machine. You're not supposed to install it on yours.

I never read the "original" thread, but even after defending yourself, you're still wrong.

 

Yes, it's against the EULA and the NDA.

However, there are ways to be added as a licensed downloader to your father's account if the two of you legitimately want to develop code. I forget the exact details of the license agreement, but I think any ADC Select member has 4 other keys they can hand out for downloads. At least, that used to be the case, and the requirements for those to whom the keys can be given are specified somewhere in the documents.

I've yet to re-up after a year or two off, so my memory of the way things were may no longer apply. But I think you can gain legit access to Leopard that way.

 

regardless of who you go it YOU are not part of ADC that gets it, therefor it's not yours. Your dad is breaking his user agreement by giving it to you. Period.

 

That is some good thinking, and remember you can always use the resources close to you.

 

How would you get in trouble? Who's going to tell on you... lol
There are thousands of copies available throughout the net, I don't think any of those people are in trouble

Besides, since it is your father's iMac, it is his computer and I would thing you would be allowed since it is your "father's development computer"

 

I'll reply to this exactly once:

If you're dad has a Select or Premier ADC membership then he will be well aware that he has entered into a civil contract with Apple Inc the precludes him from discussing pre-release software (Leopard) in any public forums or distributing the software in any way. By giving you a copy he has either broken the contract, or he has transferred a key to you. In the latter case you are bound by the same contract when you choose to download Leopard.

So by simply posting the original questions you have opened up the possibility of Apple Inc starting a civil case for recovery of monetary damages from your fathers, yourself or possibly both.

That's what we're protecting you from.

 

It is even worse, because in the worst case scenario, Apple will find out where the copy comes from, it comes from your Dad, his company gets a call from Apple, and he gets fired as a result.

 

Wow, you guys sure think Apple is "big-brother." Surprised that mac guys are so scare of their favorite computer company! lol, it's like Apple is the new Microsoft!

The thing is all over the net. Have you heard of a single person being contacted by Apple?

 

Not yet for Leopard, but yes, a number with Tiger
