I guess Sony wants to make an example out of him? Even in Canada, you can buy off the cops to do the dirty work for you, eh?

Sony allows the Mod Chip web sites to continue running and selling Mod Chips, but if a store owner sells Mod Chips and installs them, they will be cracked down on. What next, crack down on software stores that sell software that copies CD and DVD disks? It could be used to make pirated copies, so we shut them down, yick yick yick!

Still, the guy apparently sold pirated copies of the Playstation video games, that is what they should have busted him for, not the Mod Chip. But I guess even Canada doesn't have a "Fair Use" rule?

The moral of this story is never butt heads with a MegaCorp, they will screw you every time! :)
