what those hackers did was...perfectly legal.

No it isn't, it is a violation of Apple's license that governs that code, which you surely know about. It is truly amazing how far you are willing to lie to defend the Russian hackers. You and your lying buddy FLAMING DEATH, as I showed in those links he claims Russians invented Multics! LMAO!

I love how you cut the context out. Let's look at what you posted of me saying:

what those hackers did was...perfectly legal.
And what I actually wrote:
BTW, a big part of what those hackers did was to emulate EFI to get OS X to boot. It's sort of the opposite of what Apple's own Boot Camp does, and perfectly legal.
Notice that I did not address the breaking of the encryption that ties OS X to Apple's computers. I addressed only the perfectly legal emulation of the open Extensible Firmware Interface (Apple does the reverse, emulating BIOS because x86 Windows can't understand EFI). Also, much of the code for EFI was released by Intel as open source.

You are truly vile for such blatant misrepresentation.
