Florida judge will laugh at that

He won't get a chance.

The suit was filed July 3 in U.S. District Court in Northern California.

If they bring a "functioning" clone to court, it will save Apple the trouble in bringing in Exhibit A, a Pyystar clone with a modified version OS X illegally installed on it, which will prove their contention that Psystar has illegally copied and distributed OS X on other media than that which Apple provided in its OS X Leopard Upgrade package, violating Apple's copyrights.

You are right about the California venue....the Psystar boys hired a high powered silicon valley IP lawyer Colby Springer

Just on a lark I sent him a few suggestions
That I doubt he needs to defend the Psystar boys

Steve Jobs is old and half functional due to a weird cancer. Suppressing the Apple stock...
I guarantee you Steve Jobs is envious of these two young brothers. Jobs was once young brash and bold like them with a Beatle haircut. Now he’s just a ridulous blue jeans wearing old bald headed stooge with a huge anal style perfectionist streak. All that’s missing is for Jobs to come out with a new fashion collection featuring mauve under pants for guys and gals

“Pyystar clone with a modified version OS X illegally installed on it”

Only if that segment of the Eula is enforceable..

Violating a Eula does != violating copyright. If the OS is truly unmodified and still runs on the hardware you have, at most, contract breach..
