Default [TF] aXXo’s Pirated Movies Used to Promote the iMac
http://torrentfreak.com/axxo-rips-us...e-imac-080123/

Quote:
The aXXo rip was shown on an iMac displayed on an Apple stand at a John Lewis store. A member of the Hexus forums discovered this remarkable promotional material, and writes:

“So I was in my local John Lewis store a week or so back, and I was checking out their new little Apple mac area, which had lots of Macs on display, with some desks setup and other accessories. They also had some wall mounted iMacs. Imagine my surprise when getting closer to one of them to see ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest’ - ripped by Axxo playing.”



Using a ripped DVD is bit odd because this is certainly not the best promotional material. Regular DVDs or free HD-content looks much better on an iMac monitor.



One thing is clear though, aXXo’s presence has now moved beyond the Internet, and for him it must be flattering to see that commercial outlets appreciate his work. Perhaps this might motivate him to return?
LOL. I guess Jobs would be defiantly amused by this.

Wait so apple was too cheap to buy a DVD to show of their screens, so they downloaded a rip off the internet? I think that's breaks like 50,000 laws, with them showing it publicly and everything lol.
