Story: Sony wins landmark case against mod chips

Perhaps people do use mod chips so they can play cheaper versions, as the critics say. *I* would use them, if I had them, to get around the regional restrictions that prevent me from playing games Sony doesn't port to US consoles. For that matter, mutatis mutandis, I feel the same frustration when a film is available only in a region-restricted format that prevents me from seeing it. If films and games are not made available through legitimate means, the companies should not be surprised that their potential customers try other means. Stop regionalizing, and law enforcement can more clearly go after those who truly are operating with criminal intent.
