I agree with Hex Star here. Anything we can do which won't force Apple
to be a Microsoft is probably a good thing. Anything that we do that
could endanger the MOL project is probably a bad thing (such as making
it a discussion board for where to get software Illegally.).

If you have a need for OSX x86, and can't afford it, there are places
you can go and rent time on them by the hour. If you've got a really
good reason to need it, you can probably find a sponsor.

If you're a lamer software pirate, don't ruin it for the rest of us.

Like it or not, laws and software licences exist. If you don't like
them, you've got t legal and moral options. 1) Work within the system
to get these laws changed, 2) Use software who's licence you approve
of (BSD, GPL, MIT, whatever).
