Game Over for Mod Chips?
by bucy at 12:20 pm EDT, May 15, 2003

] In February, the Feds seized the domain from David
] "krazy8" Rocci, a 22-year-old in Blacksburg, VA, who used
] the site to sell 450 Enigmah mod chips. After facing
] $500,000 in fines and five years in prison for allegedly
] violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Rocci was
] sentenced in April to spend five months in the slammer
] and pay $28,500 in fines. That's an unprecedented ruling
] in the brief history of the DMCA. And it shows how this
] quirky gray market hardware is leaving so many companies
] and federal agents running scared.

Not really news at this point but anyway ...
