British Deem PS2 Mods Illegal
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe wins pivotal court case; future doesn't look bright for modders.
 
July 21, 2004 -



A judge of the British High Court, Mr Justice Laddie, recently ruled that mod chips used to augment the capabilities of PlayStation 2 are illegal. The ruling came after a case was brought against one David Ball by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. Sony claimed Mr. Ball illegally sold over fifteen hundred "Messiah 2" mod chips to British consumers. This particular chip, among other things, allows any system to play pirated titles and region encoded titles.


Justice Laddie ruled that Ball was in violation of the law, as set by the European Union Copyright Directive, and further found that the sale, advertising, use, or possession of such mods chips for commercial purposes was also illegal.



The ramifications of this ruling could affect Xbox modders, gamers with an import affinity, and anyone who just likes to crack open the box and play with things (assuming they want to sell what they play with at a later date). While it's unclear how vehemently Sony will pursue other such legal actions globally, SCEE remains adamant that Europe will be mod free.



More news as it happens.

Smerlus
Picking up the ball from inside his own half, the pint-sized Argentine skipped past challenge after challenge. Always appearing to be on the point of tumbling, he was miraculously able to retain his balance before rounding Peter Shilton and slotting the ball home for a goal manufactured in heaven.

Ive always thought he's Jamal - since you dont ban him, I guess he isnt? Or you just stopped banning Jamal?
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin
