In the old days, I remember that there was actually a german computer magazine (64'er) which used to print small basic programs for the Commodore 64 in exactly such a way.
At that time the only affordable scanners were handheld one, so you needed several passes to generate the data contained in a page.
I wonder, if the new drives are backward compaible to that.
I don't know where the inquirer has their information from, but looking at the judgement (you can search for case number T-243/01 at http://www.curia.eu.int/jurisp/cgi-bin/form.pl?lan g=en ), Sony actually won that thing.
So a PS2 *is* a computer.
