Leopard has leaked

PEOPLE... Leopard is being released in TWO ****ING DAYS. Do you REALLY feel such a sense of urgency that you need to have it right now? Which, by the way, most likely won't be "right now" because whoever actually is seeding it can't keep up with the constant flow of leechers. And yes, I'm aware that if it's on Usenet this isn't an issue.
I realize that. It's different from say, the WWDC build when everyone knew that Leopard wasn't going to be released for awhile and wanted to try it out. But, seriously, I'm impatient as hell too. It's still a minute period of time compared to th actual development process.
Sense of urgency ... hehe ... you're telling people who probably lined up overnight to buy the iPhone that they don't need it right now ... good luck!
Well I was more talking about the same as past releases. Can't remember how many days before but if my memory isn't failing me but I'm 99.9% sure Tiger leaked a couple days before release.
Not in civil cases (which contracts are a part of). In civil cases, it's only the preponderance of the evidence.
I don't quite understand this "logic" you're using, but if you have Leopard a couple days before it comes out, then you've done something wrong, no matter which way you slice it.
yep, it's the real McCoy.
I can also confirm that it's the real deal; Gold Master, Build 9A581, Final Retail Version, whatever you want to call it; the leak is it.
Welp, since its already out there ... wonder if Apple will just go a head and release it to ADC members ...
.... then again, maybe they are keeping a copy of serial numbers (of machines) for people installing it now. (From .mac sync, registering, etc)

I've just been checking: the price of tiger in portugal was 135 euros (which is 192.55 dollars) and i expect leopard to be around the same but leopard isn't even announced on the portuguese apple store. This is so unfair.
It is a one time install on one machine only so it is encrypted to a single serial I'd assume.
Developers...
A bit late now, Why not wait till 10.6 beta comes out?

but things you haven't done yet isn't evidence now is it?
Well I think in this case, it's quite obvious that at some point those who are currently running Leopard have broken the law, as they have torrented these copies.
As it is now shipping, there are plenty of people with access to the disks...it only takes one to upload it...
Didn't Apple land hard on a couple ADC members for the Tiger GM leak?
Likely this will happen again.
IIRC, they were Apple employees...but then again maybe that was for an early Leopard build...
