This is a site which conducts itself under US law (I'm not an American, nor do I live in the US just in case you were going to ***** slap me for that) and so cannot legally cannot discuss this topic. If you can find a Swedish site like this then please use that as it will be able to discuss this topic legally.

But it's not legal under US law, which is what this site is governed by. If you say it is legal in Sweden then I will believe you as I imagine you have more knowledge than me so discuss it on a Swedish forum.

Ok, fair - one can no longer discuss things on a theoretical level according to US law? And I have nothing against Americans whatsoever, 9 out of 10 Americans I have met are nice people.

However, if the mods tell me that discussing modifications like these are not allowed, I'll gladly step away. However, it seems highly illogical to not allow discussions on the theory of it.

Thankyou for participating.

This guy is a mod.

And I'm not saying just because the US say it's illegal means that you can't talk about it. I'm just saying that because the US says it's illegal you shouldn't discuss it on US websites.

On the Site Rules, you can see that this site is governed and abides by US law.

And obviously this particular MOD misread, since the places you are quoting clearly refers to "stealing software" which this discussion has nothing to do with.

The second quote sums up exactly what the Techguy forums position is. Accept it.

But the second quote is entirely based on a misreading and misunderstanding of what my discussion was about. What is YOUR problem with this though? You haven't been active on the site for 6 months and suddenly THIS thread is all you are on about? Seriously..

Because I have only just come back from Latvia where I was for a long period of time without internet. This is the basics of why we need to stop this thread.

This site is governed by US law - US law states that using OS X on anything else than Apple hardware is illegal. Therefore we cannot discuss this matter on this site.

I will now close this thread and refer to an administrator - where they will only re-open if the discussion is valid and can continue to solve the problem rather then the laws and rules

It's been stated numerous times already in this thread that Apple does not allow its OS to be installed on non-Apple hardware, and it is against forum rules to request or offer help for doing so. If you want to discuss any of this there are discussion and debate forums for doing so. I would close this request for help with a non-permitted activity, except that etaf beat me to it.
