Apple Fires Five Employees for Downloading Leopard

BuzzardsBay writes "The good folks at VARBusiness are quoting a ThinkSecret report that claims five Apple employees got canned over the unauthorized downloading of the Leopard OS. According to the article: one of the employees says: "Because we had the character to tell the truth and to face the consequences of our actions, we were terminated. If we all lied and denied it would we still be working at Apple today? Even more so, is that the kind of person that Apple wants working for them?""

Oh yeah? Well what the hell is this that I'm staring at? I bought a Umax Core Duo 7500 with Mac OS X from eBay just last week. It's a Mac clone from Umax in case you're wondering. It came with media that definitely has authentic CD Keys and you have to register within a 30 day period. There is also a note in the CD sleeve that says, "Non-transferrable. This CD Key is associated with the MAC address of the ethernet card in this machine. Any attempt to circumnavigate these features will result in sever action to the fullest extent of the law. - Apple Legal Team 2006" So I think you're all wet.
