Apple has invoked the DMCA, which allows anyone to censor web-pages by claiming they infringe on copyright, to shut down message boards on a hobbyist site where Mac OS X owners were discussing how they could install their software on non-Apple hardware.
"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," the posting read.
Win2osx.net, another Web site that hosts discussions related to getting Mac OS X onto chips with the x86 instruction set, was also down Friday. Earlier this week, Win2osx.net's discussion forums contained a posting from a hacker known as "Maxxuss," who made a patch available on his own Web site that would allow programming-savvy PC users to put a recent version of the Mac operating system on their x86 systems.
(Thanks, CZ!)
