Star Psystar Asks Judge to Rule Its Business Is Legitimate
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 3rd Nov 2009 10:13 UTC
Law and Order While the Apple v. Psystar case is currently on hold until the hearing regarding the motions for a summary judgement takes place (November 12) the Psystar v. Apple case (still with me?) is only just beginning. Psystar has amended its original complaint in this second lawsuit, asking the judge to order Apple to cease calling Psystar's business "illegal", claiming it hurts the clone maker financially.

It's a synthetic limitation. The only thing stopping it from running on non-Apple purchased hardware is the EULA. Get an EFI motherboard and your golden. yet, we accept that osX is somehow different from any other copyright content. It's software; it's magical and shit! - no it's not; it's just software and there's no reason a legally purchased copy can't be installed on non-Apple hardware outside of apple asking you not too.


Agree. If Apple didn't want people to install this software on anything other than Apple hardware, they never should have provided the software separate from the hardware. This is an important case. I don't necessarily agree with everything that Psystar is doing here, but I find it difficult to oppose them, either, just based on the fact that Apple is so obnoxious and dictatorial with the ecosystem.
