I'm all for combating Piracy but I see no reason why mod chips should be illegal, then again there are quite a few things in the DMCA that make me scratch my head.
For instance the whole felt tip pen and magic marker debacle...
Here is an article from when the "crack" was discovered: http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2002/05/52665
And an article about the legality: http://www.slate.com/id/2066527/
I always get a chuckle over stuff like that...
