Mac OS 9 is what, 14 years old now for the very last update? Eternity!Ī Mac OS 9 install CD is available on, for that matter. Apple's never done a thing to take down the sites hosting copies of those paid software.
It's technically illegal to install a variety of classic Mac OS's without buying them, System 8.0 and System 8.5 were paid software products and never made free downloads (system 8.1 and 8.6 were free upgrades, for instance, but useless without 8.0 or 8.5). And they are openly requiring Mac OS ROMS. Basilisk and Sheepshaver have been around for a very long time, and Apple has left them alone.
