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.

This depends on you licensing it though instead of owning it. Is that clearly stated on the box or by the sales person when you purchase OSX? When you buy a music CD you own it, there's no reason for it to be different for software.
Again, this is exactly the same as for DVD's or CD's. MGM/Sony/Whatever owns the IP, you own a copy of it.
The interesting part is if Apple can actually claim that you are only licensing OSX when you purchase it.
