PlayStation loses chipping case
Consoles such as the Xbox and PlayStation 2 can be modified by chips that are soldered to a console's main circuit board to bypass copyright and regional controls.
The chips allow people to play games purchased legitimately in other countries, as well as running backup copies or bootleg discs.
Court tussles
The case in Australia revolved around retailer Eddy Stevens who supplied and installed modification chips in PlayStation consoles so that gamers could play cheaper, imported games.
Sony argued that the mod chips were a breach of copyright under Australian law.
After a series of conflicting judgements from different courts, the High Court has come down on the side of Mr Stevens.
