Sources indicate that OSx86 10.4.3 - which contains increased hardware restrictions - has now been cracked in the same fashion as 10.4.1. It was initially thought that these restrictions would slow the progress of hackers, but it appears that it has done little to deter those tackling the challenge. It appears that "Maxxuss" has outdone Apple yet again.

Long answer: if you _steal_ something, the thing goes missing from the owner. The owner does not have it anymore. He cannot sell it anymore. If you illegaly copy something, the copyright-holder still _owns_ the original and can do whatever he pleases with it. She still can create copies of it, put them on some physical media (or even place them on the net) and receive money for buying (or should I say licensing?
Market dilution, Brand corruption, Breaking of a social contract, disrespectful, etc.
Just because the copyright holder has the original doesn't make the situation alright. One may not like the words being used, but the intent behind the act shouldn't be forgotten.
