The article is really funny. Seems to be written by someone without the slightest clue. Let me quote:
Psystar also claimed that Apple's Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" operating system contains undocumented code designed to render inoperable personal computers that aren't running on Apple-approved hardware.
Personal computers that aren't running on Apple-approved hardware? What is that supposed to mean?
But what is really damning in this article is that by Psystar's own admission, Apple is using effective copyright protection mechanisms that Psystar is circumventing, which makes them guilty of DMCA violations. And this is what someone posted as a reply to that article:
This would all seem to be moot though. According to copyright.gov, Apple registered their copyright on Mac OS X Leopard Version 10.5 on January 24, 2008, Registration Number: TX0006849489.
Copyright has to be registered three months before starting court proceedings to be able to get cost and statutory damages; and registration within five years of publication of the works is needed so that registration counts as prima facie evidence of actual copyright. Apple has clearly met both limit; the lawsuit was filed in July, and first publication was sometime in 2007.
