(悉尼消息) 澳大利亚高级法院已经否决索尼电脑娱乐澳大利亚公司的诉讼。该诉讼称：澳一名男子改装了“索尼PS游戏芯片”，允许他们进入未被授权的游戏，确并没有违背澳大利亚的版权法。
这个结论结束了索尼对Eddy Stevens四年的控诉。Eddy就是这名索尼曾在4年前就指控过的出售和安装用于索尼原装PS游戏机的改装芯片的悉尼商人。索尼声称，改装后的芯片严重侵犯了他们的版权。而索尼的这个芯片专利是被认为在此游戏软件中最重要的被保护的部分。（Kyodo 新闻）
Sony loses ’mod chip’ suit in Australia
SYDNEY — The Australian High Court has ruled against Sony Computer Entertainment Australia, declaring that a man who modified PlayStation consoles, allowing them to play unauthorized games, did not breach copyright laws.
The decision concludes a four-year legal battle between Sony and Eddy Stevens who installed "mod chips" — modification chips — in PlayStations in a backyard operation. Sony claimed the chips infringed on their copyright as they were overriding protection measures installed in the games consoles. (Kyodo News)
