Law and Order This week, one of the most-commented stories on OSNews was the story about how 'Maxxus' cracked/hacked (take your pick) the Intel version of Apple's OSX once again. This sparked a lively debate over whether we should encourage Maxxus, or condemn his actions. I made myself clear from the get-go: I condemn his actions. Note: This is the Sunday Eve Column of the week.

Maxxus is breaking the LAW. This would be a big issue if he wasn't.

Which law is that, can we get a citation please?

It's not just Apple, but every other company will back Apple in going after this punk, because this is damaging to the company's business and business model.

If it wasn't for people like Maxxus doing things like what he's doing we wouldn't have PCs as you know them today. Go look up the history of the IBM PC and Compaq's reverse engineering of their BIOS.
