Well it looks like the case between Psystar and Apple is going to get interesting. It’s been reported that a law firm that has taken on Apple in the past and won, has been retained by Psystar.
The name of the California law firm is Carr & Ferrell and they specialize in intellectual property cases. You may remember them from the Burst.com case where in the end, Apple settled and paid them $10 million. Also worth noting is that they went up against Microsoft and took in $60 million.
This doesn’t guarantee that Psystar is going to win, it just means that Apple is going to have a fight in its hands. Psystar’s deadline to respond to the lawsuit was moved to August 18th, so it looks like this battle royale may kick off in the fall and probably last into next year.
This legal loophole crap must go if apple is to have any real competition – hopefully it will mean a legal way forward for real competition – which can only benefit the consumer.
Yay for lawyers. I mean, what would we do without them, keep our money and have products to use? I luvZ lawyerCATSroflCopterz! wareZ! pr0n! laywers guns and monieZ!
When Microsoft are anti competitive they get fined billions, when apple are, they want compensation. The laws are different for everyone. Since apple make the best PCs and OS I am not sure why they are scared of competition.
