also, last i heard, the license terms of os x prohibit you from running it on non-apple hardware anyway, so if they already won't "let" you do what you will with the code you've paid for and you're already planning to violate the terms of the license, why in gently caress should you pay for it?

piracy is fine

buying software is fine

software licenses are retarded. I sure love having to design architectures around dumbass licensing rules instead of what�s best for the customer

is there even a mechanism anymore for buying a standalone copy of mac os?

sincere question

i think you can still buy old versions that originally were physically distributed, but everything modern is 100% electronic distribution and you need to already have a mac to download

it's not be legal in north america (in europe might even be legal), but you would have to be a corporate boot licker to call it immoral

this is precisely the thread in which piracy should be least accepted, in a subforum dedicated to computer touchers, who often derive their incomes from software licensing

admitting to pirating osx out of poverty is the dumbest thing i can imagine in the linux desktop thread

it's not just irrelevant, it is like, anti-content that destroys the discussion

yes herp derp let me pirate proprietary unix to avoid... using desktop linux?

osx is based on Linux which is open sores and thus free. nobody should pay for osx especially not for osx on an apple computer than is slower than dirt.

it's ethical and cool to pirate poo poo if you're poor but if you're a six figgy fuckwad like a lot of us you should knock it off

that said i'll pirate poo poo if i can't buy it easily so i'd pirate osx in a hot minute

I'd also argue it depends heavily on what you're pirating. Like if you're pirating some 99 cent indie android game from a company barely scraping by, gently caress you. If you're pirating os x from a company with more money than god, then by all means
