Well, it seems to be official. Modchips are circumvention devices under section 116A of the "Digital Agenda Copyright Act" and are illegal in Australia according to this article, and this one as well. This will have a huge impact on many small businesses around the country as well as many console owners and other individuals within the console industry. If you feel that the Government needs to change this then you have a chance to have your say. The government will be conducting public forum meetings in Sydney and Melbourne where members of the public can go and voice their opinion regarding how well they think the "Digital Agenda Copyright Act" is working, or not working, as the case may be. The two public forum meetings are being held very soon. The details are: Melbourne - Thursday, 14 August and Sydney - Thursday, 4 September 2003. You can register to attend these meetings at this website. Just complaining about it won't do any good, so get up and have your say. Thanks to those who supplied the links and other info.
