Just to make things clear, mraroid: nobody here's against you! Sometimes it just so happens that one misinterprets the rules, or simply forget/don't know there's a rule regarding a particular subject, and accidentally violates it. It's ok, nobody's here to punish you!

Just remember, for the next time, to avoid linking "questionable" websites on the forum and to fully read and understand the rules - if something isn't clear or you think it you're misinterpreting it, feel free to contact the admins at any time, I'm sure they're totally supportive and understanding and they're doing their best to keep this community safe and in harmony

As uni said, if you happen to need some specific software, either search it on your own (nobody's going to ask you how you got it) or ask privately to max1zzz and mcdermd, they both have very rich archives and I'm sure they will happily help you.

About other questions you might have, feel free to open new topics in the appropriate sections: it helps keeping the forum clean and moderated, and also makes it easier for other users to find them and answer back with relevant information if they can.
(By the way, I don't think there are any legal concerns about having a copy of an Apple's service manual - this is the first time the question has been brought to the table, but I always assumed they were safe to have and redistribute)
