Psystar Countersues Apple on Antitrust Grounds

Mac clone maker Psystar officially responded to Apple's copyright infringement lawsuit by countersuing for anticompetitive business practices. Say what you will about these guys, they may not be very smart but they got balls.

As expected, the 54-page complaint, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, charges Apple with restraint of trade, unfair competition, and other violations of antitrust law. Miami-based Psystar, owned by Rudy Pedraza, requests that the court find Apple's end-user license agreements (EULA) void and seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
