Law and Order Gutsy/foolhardy Mac clone maker Psystar responded in August to Apple's copyright infringement lawsuit with an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple. Earlier this week, Apple's lawyers filed a motion to have the suit dismissed, calling it "deeply flawed." In its statement, Apple contends: "One of the bedrock principles of antitrust law is that a manufacturer's unilateral decision concerning how to distribute its product and with whom it will deal cannot violate the Sherman Act."

If you ask me, Apple's motion ( http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/images/apple_motion_to_dismiss_psys... ) is very soundly researched and reasoned. There are more than 50 similar or relevant cases referenced. It doesn't seem too likely that the court will not dismiss Psystar's counter-case. And I don't see what else can Psystar do to prevent Apple from obliterating them (based on the copyright and trademark infringement claims ), or at least delay it. Tough break, Psystar.
