Star Psystar Asks for Community Input
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 14th Aug 2009 22:34 UTC
Law and Order We've got some intriguing news about the Apple vs. Psystar case. The depositions where Apple asked questions to Psystar are now over, and now it's time for Psystar to hold depositions of several people in the very highest echelons in Apple. Psystar's new lawyer team takes a more open approach to the lawsuit, and has now published the list of Apple people that will be testifying, and is also asking for community input.

My solution? Have the disc enclosed in a sealed CD case within the carton box and have the license printed out separately and put it in the box (outside the sealed CD). The software key will be inside the sealed case with the CD and the license outside. I think some companies already do this?


Wouldn't help, it still would be a post-sale restriction. The industry will have to start selling software like it sells televisions: Without unexpected surprises for the consumer. There is no legal need for the "license" at all; the software industry needs to learn how to treat its customers with respect rather than wanting to take away their rights.
