Apple is smart to offer the new version only by download, now everyone will have to pay them for the new OS and not just pass around disks to friends.

While I agree the download idea is a good one, I don't think the people that pirated the OS before will stop pirating it now. I suspect the majority of pirating was happening on BitTorrent already, not people passing around disks to friends.
