I learn via "the importance of" that an Italian judge has declared Sony Playstation mod chips legal in a cleverly crafted opinion. From the judge:

"Ironically, [it is Sony who first] had supported strongly the thesis that a playstation is a true computer and not just a game console, when asked by the EU to pay for custom duties imposed over the consoles (while computers aren’t subjected to this tax)."

Ernest Miller's view:

"Ooops. Avoid those taxes, create an opening for the argument that the PlayStation is a computer (the use of which should be unrestricted)..."

Nice.
