Psystar turns an old Apple nemesis

Perhaps this Psystar Mac clone case won't be such a slam dunk after all.

The Mac knockoff specialists have hired law firm Carr & Ferrell LLP to represent them. This same law firm was in the corner of music player company Burst.com a couple years ago. In that case, Apple ended up shelling out some $10 million in settlement/licensing fees for software in iTunes and the iPod.

This time, the IP lawyers will be on the defensive, and they'll face the formidable task of proving that Psystar didn't step all over the OS X EULA when it shipped Mac clones with the operating system pre-installed.
