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.

Seeing how tight Apple is with Big Content these days, maybe the RIAA and MPAA are secretly behind their lawsuit against Psystar. After all, if Apple wins, that paves the way for CDs or DVDs that come with EULAs stating you can't re-sell them. Say bye-bye to used music or movie stores, probably the fondest dream of both the RIAA and the MPAA. Not that Apple would mind either, since it would just mean more ITMS revenue.
More accurately, it would be like Sony BMG selling you an MP3 and then telling you that you can only play/use it on Sony brand hardware (like a Walkman).

What Apple is doing is sleazy,* and I [sic] like to know where they are getting the money to finance their legal escapades.

*Seriously, WTF is with Phil Schiller - did they actively try to find someone with even less charisma and likability than Steve Ballmer?
