Is Mod Chipping Legal?

On December 5 2006, the Australian Federal Government amended Australia’s Copyright Act to classify mod-chips as Access Control Technological Protection Measure (ACTPM) circumvention devices. However any console that employs a region code (or similar geographical market segmentation device) is not protected under the new laws. Law firms such as Minter Ellisonhave confirmed that if a games console contains a region code then mod-chips for that console are entirely legal so long as they are able to bypass that region code.
