Apple Legal Gets Tough on x86 Hackers

"Apple legal has slammed a cease and desist order against the OSx86 Project - a gathering of developers working to port Mac OS X to work on Intel processor-powered PCs. Citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Apple has forced the site to close down its busy notice boards.

Site administrators told users: "We're sorry to report that despite our best efforts, the OSx86 Project has been served with a DMCA violation notice. The forum will be unavailable while we evaluate its contents to remove any violations present. We thank you for your patience in this matter."

I seen it on the OSx86 project, if Apple was really serious then they would have sued already.

Remember, Aqua-Soft once got the C&D letter from Apple. And we are still open. However, the Aqua Apps can no longer be developed, distributed or discussed. They could reopen, but shift their focus on something related.

"So that's the story. Apple doesn't "have it in" for our site; they were simply concerned with a few links posted by our members. Those links have been removed and we're back."
