The difference is Psystar:

1) Was kind of a scam

2) Sold computers with OS X already installed

2 is the real violation that got them sued. Obviously it's legal to sell computers that are compatible with OS X. Selling them with OS X installed in violation of Apple's EULA is a good way to end up in court.

I literally acknowledged this point:

> Obviously if a company isn't selling product with OSX installed it's different

> Obviously it's legal to sell computers that are compatible with OS X

Never said it wasn't. Only that most companies wouldn't market their product's alternative illegal uses, as that puts them in a gray area. (Almost every product can be used for illegal purposes after all)
