Read more.50,000 illegal game copying devices seized in Camden raid.
While I applaud this kind of action, rather than suing grannies and 8 year olds, which seems to be the de facto way of dealing with copyright infringement. When you say "game copying devices" Is it referring to burners(what I would consider to be game copying devices)? Surely it cant be?
Assuming 30mins per disc(probably closer to 5mins, but lets be generous). They could have produced 2.4million discs per day or nearly a billion discs per year?
mod chips, has to be mod chips

That would be my guess too, but I'm curious to know if they really did have 50,000 burners, or whether the guy doing the press release just isn't up on his terminology.
What ever has been seized was advertised on their site so I would suspect that it is indeed mod chips.
mod chips...
Strange that they can be illegal really.

i never thought they where illegal, just frowned upon. Certainly didn't think it was something you could get arrested for!
The only case I know of is 'MrModChips'(made over a million selling the chips), who was originally convicted, but this was later overturned in the court of appeals. He even got his legal fee's back.

I think the tech itself is considered legal but using it to commit piracy isn't in the UK, a la P2P(complete speculation).
In the US the whole lot is illegal under DMCA.
Its illegal to charge for fitting I think.
