TAM you don’t even bother to consider contradicting viewpoints and form intelligent objections.
It just shows that you have no intelligent opinions just regurgitated propaganda.
"Sadly, copyright law doesn't have any simple way to recognize the difference between moldy stuff ignored by a dead artist's heirs for 50 years, and Disney's active use and reworking of their products."
You just made our point. It USED to have a way to deal with this kind of situation. The copyright had to be renewed. If the content was still in commercial use the rights holder could renew the copyright and all would be well but big corporations did not want to be bothered with the renewal process (or god forbid some minor employee forgot to file the paperwork) so they polished the knob of the lawmaking process (Can we please lose all Lobbyists, talk about a drain on society) and created the automatic copyright kludge we are dealing with today. If you think copyright should run longer what would have been the problem with allowing additional Extensions? I do not think you would see nearly as may problems with that.
"Cute, by I do hope that this kid realizes that he is digging himself even deeper into a hole."
What hole is he digging? Did you read any of the linked previous posts? As far as I can tell this is a pretty clear case that the kid has a fair-use argument in the aspect that it is a clear parody. Not to say that North Face wont bury him in legal fees.
I think the point is they ARE trying to find a way to stop all hackintosh development.
(and using some quasi-legal hijinks to do it)
My point in my earlier post which I ether did not make sufficiently clear (or the trolls chose to ignore) is that based on the language in the decision it seems that the Psystar Rebel EFI Software is probably going to be found to be infringing. I am not saying that it should be just that that is the way this judge sees it. As far as the idea that fair use permits the owners themselves to bypass DRM for purposes of interoperability the problem is that as I understand it the DMCA doesn't allow any exceptions to the bypass of DRM. So that argument fails to help. I think the Guns and books argument has been sufficiently destroyed already.
RE: "Apple does not license their OS to run on any other hardcore except the hardware they have approved. Even if you can technically do it (by force) it is still in violation of the usage agreement."ť
This goes top the heart of the issue the problem being that you ARE purchasing it and as such should not be limited by a (possibly unenforceable - but it seems to get enforced anyway even if it is wrong) licensing agreement. I don't see how this type of thing helps anyone. It just feeds itself and certainly destroys the spirit of innovation and completion that the founding fathers worked so hard to protect.
What about the permanent injunction against Psystar?
Judge grants Apple permanent injunction against PsyStar (at mac.blorge) "Specifically, the court banned Psystar from: ...
Circumventing any technological measure that effectively controls access Mac OS X, including, but not limited to, the technological measure used by Apple to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers."
Correct me if I am wrong, but to me it seems that the above language might cause problems for the Rebel EFI software.
It seems to me that Psystar is on thin ice with Rebel EFI.
The judge’s injunction specifically includes the company’s software however, “Whether Rebel EFI violates the terms of the injunction set forth in this order is a factual issue more appropriate for a contempt action.”
The Rebel EFI software is designed to allow the easy installation of “multiple operating systems” (including Mac OS X). Now I agree with Mike "Why should a piece of software that lets you run another piece of legally purchased software be illegal?" but, as the judgment states “It is not only inappropriate, but impossible to determine on this record whether Rebel EFI falls within “thesame type or class of unlawful acts” found at summary judgment. This order declines to “bless” aproduct about which it knows little of substance. Psystar’s second argument is therefore rejected,and Psystar — if it continues to do so — sells Rebel EFI at its peril.”
