Apple Suggests Possible Conspiracy Behind Psystar
![]() Groklaw.net reports on the most recent legal filings from the Apple vs Psystar lawsuit which suggests that there may be unnamed individuals or corporations behind Psystar: Quote:
Psystar made headlines earlier this year when they began selling Mac OS X compatible PCs. Apple has since filed a lawsuit accusing them of copyright infringement and DMCA violations. Article Link: Apple Suggests Possible Conspiracy Behind Psystar |

i dont understand why this is an issue. OS X is a registered trademark of Apple. Psystar should get shut down. Simple as that...

Strangely enough, that actually might be possible. Any regular startup would have gone under ages ago, so the fact that Apple is suggesting this actually makes more sense of Psystar.

I'm never a fan of conspiracy theories, but this is interesting nonetheless.

I've always thought there was something suspicious about Psystar...this is really interesting if true.

Maybe the lawyers think they can get lots of $$$ from Apple somehow, with $25 billion or so in the bank they are an attractive target, even if the lawyers only get 10% of a few hundred million it is an attractive settlement opportunity.
Not saying Apple/Psystar are right/wrong, but gees, lawyers don't need much encouragement if $$$ are in the offing. |

Makes a lot of sense to me. The profits Psystar (as an independent small company) stands to make if it wins the lawsuits probably aren't all that huge, compared to the hassle of a legal battle with Apple. However, other companies could benefit hugely if Psystar won, like Dell who could start selling OSX PCs, for example.

Common Apple just license your OS already. I know so many people that want OS X, but just can't afford/justify the Apple tax.
Yeah Yeah I remember the Apple clones of the 90s, but this is a different age and time.

I buy the fact that someone is behind this. Who it is, I have no idea.

Well, kinda figured there was more to the story. A no name company from out of nowhere suddenly has the guts to stand up to a multi-billion dollar corporation and its team of lawyers. and you know Apple has there lawyers on retainer, so they can drag Psyster through the mud and take as long as they want - otherwise Psyster would have given up, due to cost a long time ago (I mean they cannot be selling that many machines to be making money - any sales figures anyone?).
I would laugh if it was some big name company like Dell, IBM, etc. After all, IBM was looking at Apples, and Dell really wanted to sell OS X machines bad *and last look Dell's stock was not going that great. Dell Inc. Dell Inc. NASDAQ DELL 10.55 Of course Apple is not so great right now with the market issues, but I saw Dell drop below $10 recently. |

Wait. Never mind, years of postings on this forum have shown why this would not work.
