Apple Scores Massive Win in Psystar Case
As Murphy's Law dictates, this news was destined to come while I'm down and out with the flu, while being miserable on the couch. Dragged my bum to the computer for this one (my iPhone alerted me, oh the irony): Apple has scored a major win in its case against Psystar. Judge William Alsup more or less agreed with just about everything Apple said, granting Apple's motion for a summary judgement. Instant update: Mind, though, that this ruling only covers Leopard. Snow Leopard will be handled in the Florida case.
As we've detailed before, both companies filed motions for a summary judgement, and in its ruling, the court sided with Apple on basically all the major points in this trial. The judge affirmed the legality of the EULA, agreed that Psystar broke the DMCA, and that the clone maker violated Apple's copyrights. This is what we call an eight-ender in curling.
