Mod Chips Legal In the UK

Posted by timothy on from the mod-fish-still-under-scrutiny dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Good news out of the UK! Techdirt reports that an appeals court has overturned a lower court ruling and has now said that mod chips do not violate copyright laws. The case involved a mod chip seller, who imported mod chips for the XBox from Hong Kong and would sell the chips or mod the Xbox's himself. He was charged with copyright infringement and found guilty by a lower court. The appeals court has dismissed all charges, however."

    So now some 7th-century foreign head-chopper who was captured in battle (NOT wearing a uniform and purposely concealing themselves among the civilian population I might add) has the same rights as an American citizen? Osama must be laughing at the traitors who sit on our highest court. Kennedy allowed his Bush Derangement Syndrome to distort reality, and now foreign fighters (who themselves would show us no such consideration) will make a mockery of our already beleaguered judicial system. This was indeed part of Bin Laden's plan - to use our own institutions to bring about our destruction. Sleep tight folks. Who would have thought on Sept. 12, 2001, that in 7 years we wouldn't experience another attack? You should be kissing Bush's ass. Hope you leftist cunts like living in servitude to Muslim barbarians. Fucking Dhimmis.
