It’s game over for Psystar. The U.S. District Judge William Alsup has put a permanent injunction against Psystar banning them from selling unauthorized PCs loaded with Apple’s Mac OS X. The injunction basically blocks Psystar from what it was doing previously but sparred its Rebel EFI software because Psystar did not elaborate what Rebel EFI does.
Rebel EFI is a $50 application that allows few Intel powered PCs to run Apple’s Snow Leopard OS.
Psystar is banned from:
– Copying, selling, offering to sell, distributing or creating derivative works of Mac OS X without authorization from Apple.
– Intentionally inducing, aiding, assisting, abetting or encouraging any other person or entity to infringe Apple’s copyrighted Mac OS X software.
– Circumventing any technological measure that effectively controls access Mac OS X, including, but not limited to, the technological measure used by Apple to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers.
– Playing any part in a product intended to circumvent Apple’s methods for controlling Mac OS X, such as the methods used to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers.
– Doing anything to circumvent the rights held by Apple under the Copyright Act with respect to Mac OS X.
