Apple suspects Psystar conspiracy

Posted on Thursday, December 04 2008 @ 16:23 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Apple filed a DMCA complaint against Apple-clone maker Psystar and the firm also claims Psystar is likely part of a larger group of individuals or corporations. A recently amended claim states Apple suspects Psystar is getting support from unidentified "John Doe Defendants". It's unclear what Apple means with this but it could mean they suspect the tiny Psystar is getting financial support from a large third party, who would like to see Mac OS X on regular PC.
Apple is claiming that Psystar is part of a larger group of individuals or corporations. Here's a quote from the recently amended claim:

"...persons other than Psystar are involved in Psystar's unlawful and improper activities described in this Amended Complaint. The true names or capacities, whether individual, corporate, or otherwise, of these persons are unknown to Apple. Consequently they are referred to herein as ... the "John Doe Defendants"...Apple will seek leave to amend this complaint to show the unknown John Doe Defendants' true names and capacities when they are ascertained."
