An American has been sentenced to five months in jail for selling chips that helped gamers to bypass anti-piracy technology on consoles. David Rocci had pleaded guilty in December to conspiring to import, market and sell modification, or mod, chips for the Xbox. He was convicted under the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which makes it a crime to distribute tools that can be used to bypass copyright controls on digital products. The harshness of the sentence for selling devices that allowed people to modify their own equipment has raised concerns among civil liberties groups. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/2934621.stm
