Psystar can still sell its Intel-based machines with other operating systems installed. Under the conditions of the settlement, Apple cannot collect any damages from Psystar until all appeals are exhausted or filing deadlines have passed.Īll this doesn't leave Psystar without a business model, but it does leave it with a somewhat revised one, a precarious concept for a company that has just emerged from bankruptcy. The judge ruled in Apple's favor even before the case went to trial. Last month, Judge William Alsup ruled that Psystar violated Apple's copyright as well as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act every time it installed Apple's operating system on the clones it sells.
However, the fun, which has gone on for the past 17 months, won't end as Psystar has signaled its intention to take the case to the Ninth Circuit U.S.
