Comments on: Showdown at High Noon: Apple vs. Psystar http://gigaom.com/2008/11/09/showdown-at-high-noon-apple-and-psystar/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 20:48:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Rudy http://gigaom.com/2008/11/09/showdown-at-high-noon-apple-and-psystar/#comment-335319 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:52:56 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/?p=10031#comment-335319 i think that apple is right in their case, and that psystar has to stop this crap. saying that they should be able to install OSX on their machines is stupid, because apple made OSX, and they should be able to do whatever they want with it, and not have some idiots come try to steal it and say that it is wrong to limit the software to use or apples’ products. psystar seems to be trying to impose this view that apple is being “ferocious” and that they are wrong. i would do the same thing apple is now if someone tried to market a clone of my product with my name written all over it. what psystar did wrong was affiliate themselves with apple and continue to show images of the apple logo as if they are apple certified and using the name of OSX to interest people. the worst part is if they do win the case, that will open up a whole new market to pirates and pretty much make them impervious to claims by apple, which will then cripple them.
what psystar is doing is pretty much like infringing a patent on the fact that it is not fair that they cant use someone else’s invention. apple made the mac operating system. if they don’t want others using it, then they should not have to go to court every someone tries to.
its like psystar is saying that they have every right to steal someone’s software because they cant make a better one. why do you think they were using OSX in the first place?

(sorry for the long comment)

According to the author of the piece I linked to:

“Yes a jury trial is had in these cases if requested by the parties, and both parties have requested one.”

So all the showmanship is for not. I really dislike the laws in this country, which allows company A to sue company B just because Company B makes products to work with their own products and nobody elses. That’s just stupid.
