So, you're announcing on a public mailing list that bootleg copies of Apple
software are available?

Brilliant. >>

Copyright theft sucks.  Nothing destroys the future of the Apple platform 
faster than people who rip off software.  Demo a product, sure.  But to rip 
it off peer to peer is outright theft.  Why would any developer want to 
invest R & D into a product for Macintosh when the users themselves support 
this kind of theft on line for God's sakes?  Shawn King is being kind with 
his sarcastic "Brilliant" comment.  People who steal ruin it for everyone 
else.  They are nothing more than common thieves.
