This script seems to include the magic encryption string[0]. I'm surprised that it hasn't been DMCA'd yet.

The magic "ourhardworkbythesewordsguardedpleasedontsteal(c)AppleComputerInc" haiku-string is already kind of a meme by now.

Are they going to DMCA a federal judge's order too? https://www.rcfp.org/wp-content/uploads/imported/20120105_20...

Thanks. The page mentions transfering the image to QEMU + KVM with hardware passthrough for good performance. Is there a script or guide on how to set that up?

I have no idea how to do that and I have never attempted this myself.
