Apple legal gets tough on x86 hackers

FEBRUARY 17, 2006 (MACWORLD UK) - 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."
