Apple wins permanent injunction against Psystar2009-12-16 11:00 by DanielaTags: Psystar, Apple
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday granted Apple's request for permanent injunction against the Mac clone maker. This bars Psystar from peddling PCs with the Mac OS X operating system preinstalled, from circumventing the technological measures Apple uses to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X, and from assisting others in doing so. "Defendant must bring its conduct into compliance with the injunction by midnight on December 31, 2009, at the latest," U.S. District Judge William Alsup wrote in his ruling. "Defendant must immediately begin this process, and take the quickest path to compliance; thus, if compliance can be achieved within one hour after this order is filed, defendant shall reasonably see it done." It would seem, then, to be over for Psystar, though we likely haven't yet heard the last of it. Alsup's injunction doesn't include the company's Rebel EFI software, which allows Mac OS X to be installed on PCs. So for now the company can continue to sell it, though Alsup warns that to do so is a risky legal proposition at best. Read more -here-
