Maybe it's because of morons like this guy: <http://www.yourmaclifeshow.com/?q=node/1555>


Can't happen in Western Australia. We have to provide proof of enrolment/employment... which is photocopied... and submitted to Apple Australia.


(And there's a limit of one item.) That's not to say the system _can't_ be beaten... as this jackass shows. Always resented the need for verification, until I read this joker's post... .

cretin. He "split" the cost $20/$20 with his friend.
