The reason it's illegal for what these guys are doing is because OS X's EULA states that you cannot put the software on a device not manufactured by Apple. That's why there's no Boot Camp for the PC with Mac in it, but Windows doesn't have that term so Windows can go on a Mac. Of course Jailbreaking can lead to illegal things, like downloading cracked apps, but Jailbreaking itself is perfectly legal. ]]>Dec 3rd 2009 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/
Pretty much a truism when you consider that Apple doesn't offer a license.]]>Nov 11th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/
what is amusing is that they lack the paper trail to prove that they actually bought anything. for all we know they pulled a five finger on those disks. and even if they did pay, they are still breaking several laws. regardless of the state of the EULA decision

frankly it seems pretty clear that they copied from the hackintosh community and violated the open source license. I hope they get sued over it.

as for the Florida case, I won't be shocked if the notion of a Premium Computer Market is tossed or at least deemed moot since they are selling out of that market. and if the judge rules that for all intentions and purposes Snow Leopard is the same as Leopard and follows the guidance of their sister court in California. ]]>Nov 11th 2009 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/
The license only allows for installation on Apple-branded hardware. And, the license only allows for upgrading your current Mac OS X software... there is no boxed version of OS X that allows for a non-upgrade install. And Macs are the only computers that contain a licensed OS X installation, therefore they are the only computers eligible for an upgrade.

I believe that's what Sisyphus meant by that comment. Argue all you want whether that's right or wrong or fair or unfair (I'm not arguing either way), but that's what the license says.]]>Nov 11th 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 12th 2009 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/Nov 11th 2009 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/psystar-founders-claim-they-cracked-os-x-hackintosh-scene-is-a/
