Psystar Emerges from Chapter 11, Launches New Mac Clone

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 2nd Jul 2009 20:54 UTC, submitted by Adurbe

Well, it really seems as if Psystar is committed to continue its business, no matter what. The company entered chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May, and many wondered if this meant the end of the clone maker and the legal case between Apple and Psystar. Well, today the clone maker announced that it is emerging from chapter 11, and while they're at it, they also introduce a new "Mac".

I think this is a good way to see how legally binding EULA's really are. I would hope that they are not binding at all - Just imagine Ford telling you that after you bought its cars you could only drive it on Sundays on lanes that it has certified safe for the car.

EULA's are legally binding. It's already been ruled on many times throughout the U.S. See Blizzard v Bnetd and MDY v Blizzard for two examples. And a really great example that has many facts on point in this case is Altera v Clear Logic. There are circumstances in which a specific EULA or a clause in an EULA may be voided, but overall, the chances of Psystar winning this particular case are infinitesimal.
