@ 2023/05/10It is legally OK to find flaws in Apple gear
Fruity cargo cult, Apple has failed to revive a long-running copyright lawsuit against cybersecurity firm Corellium.
For those with long memories, Corellium developed code that simulates the iPhone's iOS operating systems, letting security researchers identify flaws in the software.
Apple was furious because it meant people no longer trusted it when it said its software was perfect and had no errors. After failing in an attempt to buy the company, Apple sued for copyright infringement in 2019.
But the courts did not agree with Apple’s mighty briefs, and the district court dismissed Apple's claims over Corellium's iOS simulator in 2020. Apple appealed in 2021.
The US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled that Corellium's CORSEC simulator is protected by copyright law's fair use doctrine, allowing copyrighted work to be duplicated under certain circumstances.
