Matter of fact, it might be easier to prove that Giz has just defamed this kid's company.

It really isn't that cut and dry.
In a more recent case involving software EULA's and first-sale rights Davidson & Associates v. Internet Gateway Inc (2004)[1], the first sale reasoning of the Softman court was challenged, with the court ruling "The first sale doctrine is only triggered by an actual sale. Accordingly, a copyright owner does not forfeit his right of distribution by entering into a licensing agreement." However, the point was moot as the court found the plaintiff's EULA, which prohibited resale, was binding on the defendants because "The defendants .. expressly consented to the terms of the EULA and Terms of Use by clicking 'I Agree' and 'Agree.'"

I'm sure plenty of people would still spring for the apple hardware even if they could put OS X on another machine legally. It is possible, and quite easy, to do it illegally now, so why do they think this will hurt them so much?

Sorry, if it were his own for home use fine; but once you start selling things that don't belong to you... well that's just wrong.

But whoever does it for a profit on some one else's IP deserves some proverbial kick in the sack, not this kind of promo.

I'd be very unhappy if you broke my trust and our agreement and sold it for a profit, repeatedly, in a way I hadn't intended when we shook hands.
I'm not sure we can know for sure what Apple considers fair compensation for the IP.
You're right, maybe he does buy the copy but the numbers don't add up.

It's just too bad it's not, you know, legal.

Moral of the story is this: you can smoke a bowl and make a hackintosh in private and be okay. It's when you start spreading the word that it becomes a problem. You dig?
