Why is that Apple Leopard leaking?

Apple's new OS 10.5 (Leopard) is leaking on the net. The Leopard is running wild. I don't think this is what Apple meant when they said the release of Leopard would not be when they originally thought. It was supposed to be out later than expected. The new OS is bounding around P2P file sharing networks, and it looks like some lucky file-sharers are having a grand ole time trying it out. I am curious to see the new OS in action too, but I will most likely wait until my local computer store has one all decked out for me to play with. Is Apple's new OS worth all the pre-release piracy and hype? Didn't seem like there was too much that was astounding or spectacular at WWDC, but it is new. New stuff always gets bootlegged. I hope the developers who invariably leaked Leopard are happy. [Via ComputerWorld]
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

It's amazing how nothing seems to be safe from bootlegging. Why do people take such pleasure in pirating early?

I hope it gets traced back to their WWDC pass or membership. If it is not watermarked in some way, that is Apples problem.

Why do you call it bootleg. People should be allowed to try before spending their hard earned cash. Apple don't appreciate upgrades and that is criminal.
