Apple Asks for Permanent Injunction Against Psystar - Updated 2Xs

By Pamela Jones et al.

Apple has filed a motion asking for a permanent injunction against Psystar, statutory damages, and attorneys' fees and costs. Unless Psystar is permanently enjoined, Apple says, it won't stop. And by stop, Apple means Snow Leopard too. It plans to file a motion of transfer in Florida to bring that matter to California. It wants the injunction to cover Snow Leopard too.

For Psystar, this isn't the fun part. Apple's expert calculates [PDF] statutory damages from copyright infringement at "between $1500 and $300,000 and the statutory damages to Apple as a result of Psystar's violations of the DMCA are between $449,500 and $4,495,000".
