Psystar continued the holiday cheer last week with an amended filing that accused Apple of improperly handling its copyrights.
Apple “is prohibited from bringing action against Psystar for the alleged infringement of one or more of [Apple’s] copyrights for failure to register said copyrights with the Copyright Office,” according to a Dec. 16 document.
Psystar also accused Apple of misusing its copyrights by only allowing the Apple OS to be installed on Apple machines.
Apple “has attempted to (and continues to) leverage the rights granted under any valid copyright to areas outside the exclusive rights granted by the Copyright Act [by] forcing purchases of Apple-Labeled computer hardware systems,” according to Psystar. “Apple has thus engaged in certain anticompetitive behavior [by failing] to abide by the fair use and first sale doctrines.”
