Sony Pursues Modchip Developer - briefly
(hx) 10:34 PM CET - Dec,08 2001 - Post a comment
Console gaming pirates are anxiously awaited a new mod-chip which is expected to open floodgates of copied PlayStation 2 software. Curiously dubbed "Messiah," the chip has already begun filtering into the European underground market. Reportedly, the chip allows PlayStation 2 owners to play copied PlayStation 2 software on CDR and DVD-R discs, and well as original games from all geographic regions. Moreover, it removes all DVD-Movie territorial protection.
Wasting no time, Sony is said to be considering legal action against ChannelTechnology. According to company representatives, Sony has threatened legal action because the "Messiah" potentially breaches section 296 of the Copyrights, Designs and Patents law in the UK. As a result, ChannelTechnology is said to be seeking legal advice and have temporarily stopped online sales of the modchip. [thanks CoreMagazine]

Don't forget that piracy killed dreamcast, don't let it happen to PS2 too. Althought I doubt sony will actually pull PS2 out of the market because of this.
