Sony Loses Australian Copyright Case Federal Court of Australia Judge Ronald Sackville found that mod chips do not violate Australian laws forbidding circumvention of "technological protection measures." There law is simmilar to the DMCA. Sackville said the technology mod chips disable doesn't constitute a "technology protection measure" under the law because it also prevents legal activity, including the playback of imported games and personal backup copies of games. I wonder if the same rational should cover systems that defeat region coding of DVDs?!!!
