Voilà c’est fait, Apple vient de gagner une injonction permanente contre Psystar à propos de la violation de copyright. Voici le Document PDF (Source). En gros, Psystar va devoir ce plier aux demandes d’Apple. Ils ont entre autre été condamné pour copie, vente, offre de vente, distribution ou création d’un travail dérivatif du/des logiciel(s) Mac OS X sans autorisation du propriétaire du copyright. En bref, pour piratage de Mac OS X et portage sur des PC’s.

Voici le compte-rendu:[Anglais]

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Apple’s motion for a permanent injunction is GRANTED, and defendant is permanently and immediately enjoined from:

1. Copying, selling, offering to sell, distributing, or creating derivative works of plaintiff’s copyrighted Mac OS X software without authorization from the copyright holder;

2. Intentionally inducing, aiding, assisting, abetting, or encouraging any other person or entity to infringe plaintiff’s copyrighted Mac OS X software;

3. Circumventing any technological measure that effectively controls access to plaintiff’s copyrighted Mac OS X software, including, but not limited to, the technological measure used by Apple to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers;

4. Manufacturing, importing, offering to the public, providing, or otherwise trafficking in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to plaintiff’s copyrighted Mac OS X software, including, but not limited to, the technological measure used by Apple to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X on non-Apple computers;

5. Manufacturing, importing, offering to the public, providing, or otherwise trafficking in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively protects the rights held by plaintiff under the Copyright Act with respect to its copyrighted Mac OS X software.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that:

1. Defendant must bring its conduct into compliance with the injunction by midnight on December 31, 2009, at the latest. Defendant must immediately begin this process, and take the quickest path to compliance; thus, if compliance can be achieved within one hour after this order is filed, defendant shall reasonably see it done.

2. Any contempt motion filed by plaintiff must be based upon violations of the injunction on or after January 1, 2010, subject to the exception below;

3. Defendant shall not exploit the compliance period granted by this order to engage in defiant or unreasonable conduct, including (but not limited to) conducting a fire sale of infringing products or continuing to sell any non-litigated product whose legality under the injunction is legitimately in question. Such products should be first “vetted” by defendant through the motion process mentioned in this order;

4. Defendant shall not be insulated from contempt liability for any defiant or unreasonable conduct prior to January 1, 2010. Furthermore, nothing in this order shall be construed as barring discovery into defendant’s conduct prior to January 1, 2010;

5. Defendant shall file and serve on plaintiff, by midnight on December 31, 2009, a report in writing and under oath detailing the manner in which defendant has complied with the injunction;

6. Defendant must immediately destroy any technology, product, device, component, or part thereof in its custody or control that has been used to circumvent any technological protection measure that effectively controls access to plaintiff’s copyrighted Mac OS X software, or effectively protects the rights held by plaintiff under the Copyright Act with respect to its copyrighted Mac OS X software;

7.  The undersigned expressly retains jurisdiction to enforce the judgment and permanent injunction pertaining to this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Psystar à jusqu’au 31 Décembre 2009 pour ce plier à la condamnation, cela sonne le glas pour l’entreprise qui devrait donc fermer ses portes d’ici quelques jours. Est-ce que cela va empêcher d’autres entreprises de ce lancer dans ce sens ? L’avenir nous le dira…
