Psystar should never have been about apple vs. non-apple in the internet
debate.
It should have been about the principle of first sale and about the strength of
EULAs, and frankly I take the forward looking view that perpetual copyright
extension essentially means that a strong anti-first-sale and pro-EULA
position means that the future will be robbed of the ability to keep old
software alive on dead platforms. That case matters just as much as Google-
Oracle does, for a lot of the same reasons.

Very well said, PJ! And I'm in full support! I don't think
you were biased at all in this post, I think you showed
exactly what went wrong with the jury process by piecing
together information from third-party media.
This is why I read Groklaw and am a loyal reader.
I do wish you had the resources to send someone to cover
these sort of trials; no other media comes even close to the
sort of insightful and independent dissection that you
provide.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

PJ - thanks for the clarifications. To be frank, I was also under the same
impression as the original poster (that your post seems to be biased).
As you said, you have been right when lot of the others have got it wrong. I am
quite sure that history will prove you right. However, even in those cases you
have never been against the Jury or the judicial system.
A less provocative title/writeup might have helped in making your points more
effective and would have created a better atmosphere for discussing the same.
regards,
A long time reader[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
