Psystar countersues Apple for anticompetitive business practices

They may have a good point: They could easily point to manufacturers who created chips that mimic'ed lexmark ink protection chips on their cartridges so they could sell remanufactured and third party cartridges. Judges ruled against lexmark saying they had unfairly locked their customers into only buying lexmark and therefore had a monopoly.

You could apply that case as existing law, stating that customers who buy apple software are required to buy apple hardware, which then constitutes a monopoly.

You cant argue the same for unix/windows/linux because you can install it on any type of hardware you want.

They may have a case.. just need to find a technologically savvy judge.; Posted by: Been_Done_Before Posted on: 08/27/08 (Edited: 08/27/2008 @ 10:26) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
