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.

... except for the "tiny itsy bitsy" fact that is not what Pysstar is going to court to.
I don't quite care what their motivations are, I don't like them anyway. But the point is, EULAs and copyright law do come up very important in the Psystar vs Apple case and either outcome will have very big repercussions regarding consumer rights.
People should have the right to run whatever they want in the computers they own, that is probably a no-brainer argument.
A lot of people disagree with that notion, including Apple.
Trying to piggyback Pysstar as a champion of freedom is simply hubris.
You're assuming things and not reading enough. I am not trying to pose Psystar as any kind of a champion for Free Software or consumer rights. It just happens that this case does touch those subjects very broadly, that's why it is so important.
For all I care Psystar should win this case but have to close their doors for some other unrelated reason.
