I really hope ever thing works out for the best for Charlie. Hopefully they won’t put the screws to him to bad. I’m wondering how this will affect modchips not only in the UK but every where else.
Since Sony won won in the UK, they mite try and come after the US next. I’m sure they are looking into it very hard to find some loop hole in the DMCA. Just another reason the DMCA needs to be burned. Also wondering how this will affect XBox modchips in the UK. Think Bill will try and make an example out of some one as well?

Im not too worried about the US version court dates. I know our US lawyers are a bit more sly.

That sucz.Yet again Sony the Multinational bully one guy. It's really sad an I feel sry for charlie. Out of all the mod chip installers why pick on him?
Don't sony realise how much homebrew software there is out there that is unusable without a modchip. Also I thought it was legal to be able to back up your own software for your own personal use. I assume Sony will be providing some alternative means for doing this or offering free replacement software for damaged discs?? They suck big time. PS3 or Xbox2? Am getting really swayed the other way!

Legal to own backups or not is not the point, Sony is just trying to make a statement!
Sony's been making Lord knows how much money off us gamers already so what's a few mod-chips going do? Better stock up on them chips before it's too late

But at the end of the day he wasn't done for backing up discs, he was done for selling ways of bypassing the copy protection system. Sony would do anything to protect their and their investers interests. Just the same as any other company would. Just the same as you would if someone was preventing you from earning income that you would otherwise earn. Please note that I am in no way against piracy. I have a chipped PS2, when i get a new one i'll get it chipped as well. And i work in a retail store that sells console games & dvd movies.

Still not too worried. I just dont think that fool stood up for himself. We are by law allowed to make one backup of our original games. Nowhere in that order was there anything refrencing that.
Tyler!
