why does this thread inspire combativeness?

ho-hum.

I'm just excited that I can pre-order tomorrow!

Wasn't trying to be combative. Just stating that the legal issues are probably not all that significant given the circumstances. The people that Apple would likely go after, if anyone, would be the developers who (presumably) violated the terms of their license agreement by making the beta version of iTunes available to the public.
