The ruling actually acts as a legal precedent so that modding of any console for the purpose of enabling the use of legally acquired titles from international sources, is now legal. Ipso facto it is now also legal to mod PS2 consoles and all DVD players.

The FTA will not affect this ruling because as the High Court has stated, in any future rulings where there is a doubt, the High Court will continue to rule in favour of the constitutional rights of the individual. As the constitution stands any sections of the FTA which are in violation of it will not be upheld by the courts.

They declared a particular *type* of mod chip legal, not just anything and everything.
