However, he said that many Mac owners want their installations to be legal, but they’re not willing to pay full price for each copy of the operating system. “This is a great way to allow honest people to remain honest,” Bereskin said.

I guess it's like every other corporate business...the #2 guys always bends a bit more than the #1 guy. How else can they get to be #1?
