Ah, yes. Argentina. That huge and bustling market, so world-influencing.

Not.

Look, Psystar is right down there with the SCO scammers in terms of corporate behavior and lawsuit baiting. I’d have more sympathy if they actually had a better legal theory behind them - their current one is laughable.

Nonsense. These Florida boys have a very good Silicon Valley lawyer working for them
Too bad the trial isn't in Florida where it should be
It would be an automatic win for Psystar

Yeah, the whole anti-trust angle was idiotic.

On principle I agree with elements of Psystar’s case. A software vendor shouldn’t be able to tell you where you can run their software you lawfully purchased at retail. And you should be able to hack it to run on a commodity box using the interoperability exception of the DMCA.

Of course Psystar is doing a bit more than just those two things, but I’d like to see Psystar win on those because it would benefit us all.
