Apple's move to kill Hackintosher suit denied

Apple's contract with you

Looking at the Snow Leopard box on my desk, it says "Use of this product is subject to acceptance of the software license agreements included in this package". It then has a License agreement when you install it, with a button that says "Accept" or something similair.

As far as I can see, Apple has the right to put whatever restrictions they want on the use of the software, as long as you can return it if you don't agree. They stated on the box, that using the software requires acceptance of their terms in the software agreements, so as an intelligent customer you accept that on purchasing it, with the priviso that you're free to return it if you find their conditions unnaceptable. It's not your software to do what you want with, since you've already agreed that you'll check the EULA before install.

So Apple has the rights to set whatever contract they want on your use of the media, as long as they don't change the terms on you halfway through, which they don't. You have the right to deal with it, or not use it.
