Psystar Activation Servers Down?

An anonymous reader writes "I purchased Rebel EFI in support of Psystar's crusade back in October. Just 3 short months later, I have no support. I found this out when I upgraded my hard drive and installed Snow Leopard using Rebel EFI. The program can no longer 'phone home' to activate or download/install drivers. This is a direct contradiction to Psystar's promise posted on their website: 'Psystar will continue to support all of its existing customers of hardware and software through this transitional period. Warranties on hardware will continue to be honored as long the customer has a valid warranty. Rebel EFI support for existing customers, as always, will remain exclusively available through email and the built-in ticket interface.' Has anyone else run into this issue? It has been 9 days with no response from Psystar by e-mail or phone."

You bought software containing DRM (ie, requries "activation"). You deserve to be screwed.

Seriously. Activation means you don't really own it. And if you don't own it, you can't control it. And if you can't control it then it *WILL* be take away from you eventually.

You would think people would have figured this out by now.

Haha...no really you did what?...hahahahahahaha...
