Apple's business model is based on different ideals to Microsofts.
It is that we will make our OS work really well with limited hardware we choose to support.
Microsoft's model allows for much more user customisation but far more hardware compatability issues (I defend this by asking when was the last time you heard a Mac User complain about a BSoD).
These two different business models are both totally legal (as supported by the US Federal Trade Commission, who's opinion counts, not yours, in deciding whether it is legal or not).
There's no getting around the fact that Apple's terms and conditions clearly state that using Mac OS X on non Apple hardware voids your licence and is stealing if you continue to use it.
The fact that it is illegal makes it applicable to the forum rule disalowing any illegal activity, or the support of said illegal activity, which in most cases if violated should end with an immediate ban.
There is no room for debate here, it has been clearly layed out to you.
Oh and the people I 'asked' I sent fairly reprimanding PMs outlining the possible consiquences on having an illegal copy of Mac OS X on your Computer could be (prosecution etc.).
If you were to break your phone contracts terms and conditions you would expect a warning to stop doing whatever you are violating or in some cases have your service cut off and a fine imposed, possibley to even be taken to court if you broke them extremely badly repeatedly.
I hope this makes my views, the forums views and the laws views on so called 'hackintoshes' clear.
