There are car stereos that have a record button just like the cassette recorders of the past. Is it dishonest to press record and get a less-than-perfect mp3 recording that is perfectly acceptable to the listener (for free)? I don't think so. If I really loooooove the song, I'll buy a CD rather than download from the internet from a shady source.
Similarly, there is nothing wrong with Apple (as a business) charging a higher price for their OS for use on non-Apple hardware. I would gladly pay Windows prices, but for the increased cost, I would expect *some* level of support. I would be just as content with the cheap version and *no*support, because the community would provide all that is needed. They are good people, much like the users on this list. This podcast is an eye-opener (ear, perhaps) for those who still believe hackintosh people are thieves. No, they just want a product they are happy with, and sometimes the cookie-cutter off-the-shelf stuff (even from Apple) just isn't good enough for their dream machine. http://tinyurl.com/ch6ugbt ~Roger On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 10:38 PM, Kay C Lan wrote: > On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 2:42 AM, Peter Haworth wrote: > > > You're right, yes I'm referring to the parts about running only on Apple > > hardware. > > Pete > > Musicians sell their music.
