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."

Why is Apple so eager to try and have the counterclaim dismissed? I'm not a lawyer and not as familiar with antitrust law as I probably should be, but it seems to me that if such a principal really is stated in the law then the court will dismiss the counterclaim on their own without help from Apple. Perhaps they're not as sure of themselves as they want us to think?
