Star Psystar Wants to "Reveal" Protection Measures in Leopard
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 16th Oct 2009 22:50 UTC
Law and Order Remember the motions for a summary judgement filed by Apple and Psystar earlier this week? Large parts of them were censored per Apple's request. These censored parts detailed the protection measures Apple put in place in Leopard to prevent it from being installed on non-Apple labelled computers. Psystar filed a motion a few days ago asking the judge to uncensor the information.

Except....read Blizzard. It is possible that under Blizzard, to break a EULA deprives you of permission to make any copies, including those necessary to run the system, ie the copies into memory. I am not sure of what exactly Blizzard amounts to, but its possible that it is a counter argument.

Except for Blizzard, the point is valid.


The Blizzard case in no way would stop you from copying the program into memory in order to run it. It will however prevent the use of Bots in WoW. I really do not see how that case can be relevant to this one at all. With lawyers though anything is possible I guess. Copyright law invalidates any clause in a EULA that would indicate that you could not run the program.
