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. "

    That's exactly how the law would be enforced in a country that doesn't have an explicit policy of making the consumer take it up the ass instead of the company. If you're planning on moving to such a place, we wish you well on your long journey to Never Never Land. ;)

    I strongly advise against copying PS2 games with pen and paper. Better use an infinite amount of monkeys with typewriters.
