(Off Topic) Mr. Modchips Gets Convicted in the U.K.
A 'businessman' who traded under the name Mr Modchips has become only
the second person in the UK to be convicted for distributing and
selling chipped consoles.
39 year-old Higgs was found guilty of 26 offences: three counts of
advertising, supplying and selling modification chips designed to
enable people to play illegally copied games on their consoles, 12
counts of possessing 19 chipped games consoles and another 11 counts of
possessing Executor modchips for Microsoft consoles, as well as Viper
GC chips for Nintendo systems. He was cleared of a further four counts
of possessing chipped consoles.
The jury at his trial voted unanimously against Higgs, whose lawyers
requested leave to appeal which was granted by the Judge. A date for
the appeal hearing has yet to be set.
