Apple wins copyright infringement case against Psystar in California

Well, well. Apple’s won its copyright infringement claim against would-be Mac cloner Psystar in California. Anyone surprised? As we’ve been saying all along, the key argument wasn’t the OS X EULA or Psystar’s failed monopoly claims, but pure, simple copyright infringement, since Psystar was illegally copying, modifying, and distributing Apple’s code. Psystar was also dinged for circumventing Apple’s kernel encryption in violation of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, but that’s just another nail in the coffin, really. There’s still some legal fireworks to come, as Apple’s various other claims like breach of contract, trademark infringement, and unfair competition weren’t addressed in this ruling, but those are all secondary issues now — and we’d expect this decision to have quite an impact on the other case currently ongoing in Florida. We’ve broken down the highlights after the break, hit up the read link for the PDF and follow along.

It turns out that the updated OS has built-in malware protection, Adobe CS3 will work on it (but it won’t be supported), and the $29 upgrade disk will work for everyone—even though the EULA forbids using it unless you have Leopard. There are also new Mac ads and some legal drama, so read on to catch the highlights. Be sure to look for our Snow Leopard review on Monday.

Critics call shenanigans after Apple, AT&T letters to FCC: Everyone is puzzling over Apple and AT&T’s letters to the FCC about the apparent rejection of a Google Voice iPhone app. Ars peers through the holes in their version of the mess.

Adobe Creative Suite and Snow Leopard: what you should know: Adobe has drawn the line in the sand between Intel and PPC for upcoming versions of its Creative Suite, and now it’s doing so again between CS3 and CS4 when it comes to Snow Leopard support. It might not please everyone, but that’s the price some of us pay for staying on the cutting edge.
