If granted the injunction would prevent Psystar from doing anything which might violate Apple copyrights, including bypassing controls in Mac OS X which prevent it from being freely installed on any Intel system. The company would similarly be banned from sharing the necessary decrypti... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/motion.includes.leopard.snow.leopard/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/psystar.tackles.s.leopard/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/pystarsnow.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Mac cloner Psystar has filed a second lawsuit against Apple, this time contesting policies surrounding Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Psystar should have the right to buy Snow Leopard and install it on third-party computers for sale, the filing says. The suit moreover accuses Apple of illegally linking Snow Leopard to Apple hardware, creating monopolies in the trade of "premium" computers, and/or system... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/psystar.tackles.s.leopard/ Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/17/psystar.destroying.proof/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0907/psystarsml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Mac cloner Psystar is guilty of destroying important evidence needed to proceed in an ongoing lawsuit, Apple alleges in recent court documents. The case revolves around the end-user license for Mac OS X Leopard, which expressly forbids installing the software on systems not branded by Apple. Psystar sells PCs with Leopard pre-installed, which Apple suggests is a violation of the Digital Millenni... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/17/psystar.destroying.proof/ Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/22/apple.backs.down.on.threat/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0712/gavel.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has withdrawn a number of legal threats against the public wiki site Bluwiki, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The threats were initially sent to the site publisher late last year, after anonymous users authored pages relating to enabling content sync with iPods and iPhones without going through Apple's iTunes software.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/22/apple.backs.down.on.threat/ Thu, 23 Jul 2009 02:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/27/apple.sued.over.dmca.test/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0904/Apple-suedby-odioworks-27.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple is in the middle of a new lawsuit that could test the limits of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The lawsuit was filed jointly by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and attorneys representing OdioWorks, the company that runs Bluwiki, a technology forum website that hosted iPodhash, which discussed use of open-source iPod technology. The lawsuit comes in response to Apple's demands that ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/27/apple.sued.over.dmca.test/ Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/16/eff.attacks.ipod.shuffle/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0903/ipodshuffle3g.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple is headed in the wrong direction with the redesigned iPod shuffle, claims the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The public advocacy group notes that while Apple has mostly disposed of DRM in terms of music files, it has effectively added more by limiting which audio hardware can connect to the player's headphone jack. If not used with official Apple earbuds, the player will require an adapte... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/16/eff.attacks.ipod.shuffle/ Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/19/mozilla.skype.vs.apple/ <img align='left' src='http://www4.macnn.com/macnn/nimagesii/sky_070516_skype.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Two prominent companies, Mozilla and Skype, have joined in opposition to Apple's stance on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Apple recently challenged an exemption to the DMCA proposed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which would guarantee the legality of jailbreaking iPhones and other handsets. In its formal response, Apple complained that opening the law would risk damage to phones, ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/02/19/mozilla.skype.vs.apple/ Thu, 19 Feb 2009 22:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/17/psystar.dmca.defense/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0712/gavel.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Psystar has submitted a response to Apple's recently expanded list of claims. After a successful filing to have the court reject the clone-maker's initial counterclaims of monopolistic business practices, Apple added several DMCA-violation allegations to the suit. The basic defense against the DMCA accusations argues that the technological copyright-protection measures employed in Mac OS X are bei... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/17/psystar.dmca.defense/ Thu, 18 Dec 2008 00:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/25/bluwiki.apple.conflict/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0811/apple.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple has allegedly sent a cease-and-desist order to the public Wiki site Bluwiki.com, demanding the removal of postings from users that were trying to figure out how to write software that could sync media, from sources other than iTunes, onto iPhones and iPod touch devices running the latest software, according to MacBlogz. The order reportedly claims that the threads violate the Digital Milleni... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/25/bluwiki.apple.conflict/ Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/12/can.copyright.act.tabled/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0711/tivoseries2dt.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The Canadian government's Industry Minister, Jim Prentice, has today officially tabled Bill C-61, a set of proposed amendments to the country's Copyright Act.
