Mod Chips Legal In the UK

Huzzah! Common sense prevails once more (hopefully) with the news that Mod Chips are legal in the UK according to a new ruling (in which it’s interesting to note that the all charges against the defendants were dropped but he also was awarded costs – so no doubt in the judge’s mind then).
More info here. I’ve modded virtually every console I’ve ever owned and it’s a pre-requisite that there is a mod chip available before I make a new purchase – this isn’t just about piracy, it’s about the right to tinker, learn and modify, the real meaning or the word ‘hack’ – most of my career is based on being self-taught by voiding warranties and exploring ways of using technologies beyond their original intent.
