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.

The term "illegal" describes something that violates a law.
An EULA is definitely not a law -- it is a private contract, usually unsigned.
A civil contract is definitely not a law -- it is a private agreement between one or more parties.
A civil license is definitely not a law -- licenses are private contracts that grant permissions. However, a license from the government (like a driver's license) can be controlled by laws.
Copyright statutes are definitely laws.
Trade secrets and proprietary entities are definitley not laws.
Got it?
