Installation and Sales of Modchips now Illegal in Hong Kong January 3
TehSkeen is reporting that a law in Hong Kong has just gone into effect that makes Modchips as well as the Installation of Modchips Illegal.
From the Explanation:
Examples of the sorts of activities that would attract
civil liability:
…
• a person offering a service to modify game consoles or
selling mod chips for insertion into digital game machines so
as to enable others to play pirated computer games
…
To combat the rampant sale of modified game consoles and other
tools which help the public to pirate copyright works, we propose
to criminalize the making, importation or export for sale,
or dealing in any circumvention tools. We will also criminalize
the commercial provision of circumvention services.
