Well maybe it's not illegal from a criminal stand point but sending a 
service manual would clearly be a violation of Evan's agreement with 
Apple. (Evan, apologies if I'm speaking out of turn)

Sure you could buy CD's from ebay or probably find them for free for 
that matter, but that material requires a license to use or possess, 
just like any other software.

Some people don't mind using pirated software, just like some people 
don't mind stealing cars. Buying copies from ebay seems just like 
buying a stereo from the trunk of some guys car behind 7-11.

To me stealing is stealing, but if you can rationalize it in your own 
mind fill your boot, but I wouldn't advertise it on a public mailing 
list.
