Sony Crushes UK PS2 Mod Chip Developers

Posted by Hemos on from the got-their-day-in-court dept.

SukebePanda! writes "UK mod chip developer Channel Techonology finally had their day in court with Sony, and lost big time. This judgement could have far reaching implications, with the judge implying that even playing original imports was illegal. This also wipes out any chances of seeing home brewed software on the Playstation 2 anytime soon, as well. "

    OK. So let me see how this thing works. I guess now Sony will be The Great Satan in the Slashdot Hivemind, right up to the point they release a cool game, at which point the Slashdot Hivemind will heartily recommend it.

    Well, that's how it runs with other things...

    And to think Slashdot portrays Bill Gates as the Borg!
