Console Modder goes to Jail under DMCA

Dammit! And I've been thinking about modding my XBox. Guess I won't be using the Enigmah chip.

"A man found guilty of selling mod chips on his website in breach of the draconian Digital Millenium Copyright Act has been sentenced to five months imprisonment and a $28,500 fine.

David Rocci, who sold the Enigmah mod chips for the Xbox from his site, Isonews.com (we reported on the site being seized by the US Department of Justice last month), pleaded guilty to breaching the DMCA by selling illegal copyright circumvention devices last December."
