Psystar files appeal against Apple win

“Psystar is formally appealing the permanent injunction Apple secured against it in court,” MacNN reports. “Filed on Thursday, the request to the US Court of Appeals’ Ninth Circuit challenges the ban on selling Mac clones, the summary judgment and protections surrounding the details of dispositive (settlement-related) motions in the case.”

“Without the legal option of selling Mac clones or the Rebel EFI firmware needed to trick Mac OS X into installing on non-Apple PCs, Psystar has had little choice but to cease most of its main business and has taken to selling t-shirts protesting the loss,” MacNN reports.
