The week isn't even over yet, and we already have another instalment in the Apple-Psystar soap opera. Psystar has filed a new lawsuit in the Florida Southern District Court in Miami, asking for an injunction and damages because of Apple's "anticompetitive attempts to tie Mac OS X Snow Leopard to its Macintosh line of computers".

Come on. People made work for Mac OS (for the most part). And because they can't sell it for 1500 Euros they give it along with the hardware.
In this world of more or less free market, if you aren't able to sell your OS for 1500 Euros, it means it isn't worth it. Now if you depend on it to sell your overpriced hardware, too bad, but you don't have any inherent right to limit what your users do with your software after sale(other than copyright).
Psystar is fixing an intentional misfeature to disallow competition and bundling software they own with computers they built.
The right to profit from a bad(not good enough) product doesn't exist. It is time for corrupt judges and politicians to stop acting as is it did.
