Another week, another instalment in the Apple vs. Psystar soap opera. Last week, we left off when Apple was accusing Psystar of destroying evidence, and even though we had a blunt response to El Reg in which the clone maker denied ever having done such a thing, we did not yet have an official court filing from them. Well, we do now.

My question is: Psystar is by no means a big bussiness so the fact that documentation gets lost doesn't surprise me. Can this really be used against them in a trial? Can a bussiness be penalized because they fail at keeping track of their work?
Now, those files that got distributed "by accident" are a different thing alltogether...
As far as I can tell from the article, they're not being pinged for losing documents, but rather the loss of the master images of their computers.
There are countless laws requiring corporations to keep various documents, in Australia for up to 5 years!
However losing or deleting master disk images I think would be pretty much up to the company, as it is just a purge of outdated data.
