basically, almost all of apple's software can be pirated without any problem. they do not require keys and activation. it's all about being honest.

My Macbook HD crashed on me, so I bought a MBP HD off Craigslist. I tried installing Leopard from a friend's CD and it didn't work. I also tried a Tiger CD from another friend and didn't work. After much research online, people were saying that I needed to order the original installation discs from Apple Care, and then upgrade from there.
I just came back from the Apple store and bought the $35 Snow Leopard, and it's installing as I type this!! The guy tried to sell me the Mac Box Set for $199, saying that the just the OS disc would not work.
Crossing my fingers that the install goes okay!!
