I discovered the ISO and questioned whether operating it was against the law.
It varies. If you got the ISO through bittorrent and seeded it during download, it might have been possible. There were likely efforts to target people for pirated ISOs before. I think they did focus on sites with leaked beta builds, though I don’t recall specifics about Windows 8 betas.
