And... what, exactly, are you expecting to happen to this person? An Apple SWAT team to break down his door and shoot his dog?

I've happily violated hundreds of EULAs for all sorts of software in my time. They're worth less than toilet paper. I installed MacOS on my PC hardware for fun too.

Is ethical behavior worth less than toilet paper? I don't think so.

If stealing software is legitimate, then what else is legitimate to you? when does theft become legitimate in your opinion? (I don't care about your answer, really. Just think about that).

So, not being caught makes unethical stuff OK? Do you have a conscience?

When you say "PC hardware"... Do you realize that every macOS device is also a personal computer too? The "mac and PC" dychotomy is absurd and purely marketing driven.
