As Rich reported yesterday, Apple finally got around to filing a lawsuit against Psystar. The lawsuit was filed in the northern district of California and alleges all of the obvious charges, including license infringement, copyright violation, etc.

Psystar very blatantly entered this market – almost as if they were wishing they’d get sued. They very blatantly poked Apple in the eyes and started selling hackintoshes. The only mystery is what took Apple so long to react.

But, filing a lawsuit isn’t enough. Now Apple is asking Psystar to issue a recall on all the Mac clones they sold since Psystar’s debut in April. “Psystar’s actions have been committed with intent to damage Apple and to confuse and deceive the public,” Apple claims (according to ZDNET). “As a direct and proximate result of Psystar’s infringing conduct, Apple has suffered and will continue to suffer lost sales and profits in an amount not yet fully ascertained in an amount to be proven at trial.”

IT goes to show that Apple is going for the jugular on this one. However, a recall isn’t practical. People paid money for Psystar systems (bonehead move, but they did). Do you really think somebody who purchased a system is going to send it back? So, a recall is likely wishful thinking.

Winning the lawsuit, however, is not. I expect Apple to wipe the floor with Psystar in court.
