      So they engage in criminal activities then.

        copyright infringement isnt a criminal act, unless it involves reselling. It is a civil tort, and apple is free to sue.
        • pjmlp 8y ago
          That depends on the jurisdiction. On most countries copying software without paying the owner is a criminal offense. How much the local authorities bother following up with this kind of crime is another matter.

            No it is not.

              If it makes you happy to pirate stuff, by all means.

          > copyright infringement isnt a criminal act, unless it involves reselling Wrong in the USA, criminal copyright infringement requires only that the purpose be commercial advantage or private financial gain; [17 USC § 506(a)] selling is obviously an example of this, but isn't the only possibility.

  No. Some people don't want insane amounts of money to go to Apple just for the brand, and then get old or shitty hardware. I'd happily pay 2000/2500 USD for a good 15" OSX laptop - but not for a stupid piece of hardware where the keyboard sucks and the touchbar gets in my way.
  • hugg 8y ago
    yes. not sure how your point makes mine null however.

      My mistake. I should have replied to "then they shouldn't buy OS X".
