Upgrade pirated applications in Mac App Store - Apple is not an error

As it turned out, the Apple aware of the possibility of renovation of pirated copies of iLife and iWork through the Mac App Store. This publication reports MacTrast, referring to the statement of the American manufacturer. Let me remind users of pirated and demo versions of the applications from the package iWork and Aperture graphical editor could suddenly free to download updates from the online store Apple.

Here's how Apple has commented on this situation:

"As you can see, our support site no longer allows you to download an update for Aperture, iWork and iLife. Moreover, now they do not even have in our system, Software Update. This happened because with the release of the new operating system Mavericks we are changing the way to distribute updates for our software.

More we do not keep separate site updates and applications in Mac App Store, eliminating system updates for older versions of the software. Now, when the Mavericks finds applications on your computer, they are automatically defined as the purchase of Mac App Store and linked to the Apple ID. After finding all the programs they automatically go into the history of purchases to your account as if you bought them at the Apple Store. "

When upgrading Apple does not check the license of software that allows users to completely legal move to licensed software, even if the activation keys are long overdue. If you want to try this system in action, just install on a Mac or a pirated version trial one of Apple products, then Choose the English as a system and reboot a computer. We can only go to the Mac App Store and under "Updates" to update the "apple" software to the full version.

In my opinion Apple new policy simply puts the competition blade. Free OS X Mavericks, Apple free software for OS X and iOS - all this is a huge step forward for the company's users. In Cupertino are ready a blind eye to piracy and to believe in the honesty of users, even if it's not always the case.
