Everything that pertains to this, is basically illigeal in the US half the time. Like one step is a no no. Read a CD's fine print that's released recently. It basically says if you lend this disc, it's illgeal. It's so broad in words. By even letting someone else touch it, I'm potetionally doing a crime. |
I cannot say anything about the US, but the EU courts usually protect consumers/citizens and they have repeatedly ruled that modding is not illegal.
Once you purchase/pay for any product, it is considered transfer of ownership, and the producer by taking payment relinquishes all subsequent rights to that product.
Once you buy a console, it is yours, and you're free to do whatever you please, use it, dismantle it, set it on fire, mod it.... Console is a product just the same as a desk, car tyre, pencil or a washing machine. Yet somehow people think that Sony and MS have the right to poke into our living rooms. I wonder how you would feel if Ikea made surprise visits to see if you assembled their chair "legally".
