The legal back-and-forth between Apple and clone-maker PsyStar continues to develop, with the latest news being a move by Apple - the Cupertino company has invoked something with many already predicted Apple would call upon: the DMCA, or the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. This was done in an amendment to the original suit, filed in July this year.

If I take my ford falcon and upgrade the engine, do I go crying to ford when I break the thing? do I go crying to the guy who sold me the ford falcon secondhand? no of course not. You take it to a repairer someone who knows something about fixing it. If the car is extremely custom you make the parts yourself. Same idea applies here. Psystar is essentially selling an extremely modded car with custom bits, and are saying this works how we've modded it, if you make new mods you're on your own.
Legal liability for second hand goods sold as-is is pretty clear.
