I haven't had a chance to play with this, so hope someone knows:

If a person took a Mac OS X CD, installed it on more than one computer, and networked the computers... does it work OK?

Is there any licensing scheme built in to keep people from using one copy all over?

I only have one OS X box... hence haven't ran into this yet.
I always use protection when fscking my Mac... Do you?

theoretically no, the person would not encounter any problems.

However, morally the person would turn into an ugly swamp monster a his penis would shrink three inches.

OS X Server has that sort of copy protection scheme.

The way I see it, if you're gonna become an ugly swamp monster, there's no need to worry about the size of one's penis.

This is patently false. Haven't you guys ever seen Swamp Thing? Of course, Swamp Thing wouldn't pirate software.

Their tits probably shrink, or become extremely floppy.

I guess they still could, but from the descriptions of what would happen to the female swamp monsters, I don't know if they'd even want any.
