Just like to point out that this ruling DOES NOT mean that modchips are legal in the UK. I've read the full judgement and he got away with it simply because the prosecution made an almighty screw up.
The original case that made modchips illegal still stands and the judge in this case made that clear. Unfortunately people have read more into the reports of this case than they should have. Most of those reports have come from pro-chipping sites, who have been a little economical with the truth.
I'm just waiting for the mrmodchips site to start up again to see if he's going to carry on selling modchips. From what I've read on other sites, he's a thoroughly unpleasant and arrogant individual, so I'm expecting him to do just that. If he does, he'll be rearrested and this time the prosecution won't make the same cock-ups.
