Edit Console: Legal or not legal?


Abstract

The changes (hardware and / or software) of the console in order to boot homebrew software and backup copies is a thorn in the side of the manufacturers, as well as backup copies, as is known, it becomes possible to run pirated games.
After Wii and Xbox 360, has "fallen" too Playstation 3, as amended by a specific USB device (up to firmware 3.41), so that all consoles have now been violated (and same happened to the portable consoles). The manufacturers, however, continue their fight in two aspects: one is purely computer, the other, however, is legal. This article analyze the impact of the sentence no 23765/2010 of the Supreme Court on the legality of the hardware changes.

legislation applicable

In this case, before we understand the sentence no 23765/2010 of the Supreme Court, we should mention the following articles of the law on copyright (law 633/41):
1) Art. 171, paragraph 1: "It is punished, if the offense is committed for personal use, with imprisonment from six months to three years and a fine of € 2,582 to € 15,493, any for-profit [...]
f-bis) [...] sell [...] advertises for sale or hire, or possess for commercial purposes, equipment, products or components or provides services that have the predominant purpose of evading or commercial use effective technological measures referred to in art. 102-c that are primarily designed, produced, adapted or performed for the purpose of enabling or facilitating the circumvention of these measures [...] "
2) Art. 102-c:" 1. The holders of copyright and related rights and the right under Article. 102-bis, paragraph 3, may be affixed to the works or subject matter of technological measures effective protection that include all the technology, device or component that, in the normal course of its operation, is designed to prevent or restrict acts not authorized by the holders of the rights [...] "

The background

The Supreme Court was asked to rule on a decision of the Criminal Court of Florence, in the review, which had annulled a seizure ordered against a computer company accused of committing the crime of LN 633 of 1941 referred to in Art. 171 ter, paragraph 1, lett. fa), because it "would have marketed the devices through which can be used on gaming consoles of various brands, including Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Microsoft Xbox, PlayStation, video games are not original result of unlawful activity of copying or otherwise illegally downloaded from the Internet, offering services in all cases the technology necessary to modify the same equipment for the purposes specified above.

The previous Court of Cassation and the notion of game

The Supreme Court ruling with No 33768 / 2007 , had already stated that the "technological protection measures (or MTP) were updated and developed according to the possibilities and risks, resulting in the development of communication technology, especially technology that operates on the network and that a significant part to the defense of copyright have been geared to operate in a coordinated manner on the copy of the product is intended to appear on this page and use that support. "
seems useful to quote another passage from that case, in which the Court states that it is" now clear that the "games" are something different and more complex than computer programs commercially available, as are not due entirely to the concept of media that contains "sequences of moving pictures. "Indeed, they will" support "to a computer program, which partially include, but this is only to give way on the main component has its own self-concept, which is represented by sequences images and sounds that, despite many options available to the user (according to the interactivity, however, never completely free because "wizard" and default by the authors), make up a story and a route planned and channeled by the authors of the game . But even if the development of a story can take on user-guided directions, there is no doubt that this development makes use of the basic narrative and technology desired by those who conceived and developed the game, just as no one doubts that constitute a work of genius attributed to their authors or stories to answer multiple "open" that characterize some books.


In other words, use a video game software and can not be confused with it. "

nza No 23765 / 2010

The Supreme Court agreed with the statement of the applicant pm that a security is part of the information contained in media (original game) while the other part is embedded in the console, evoking mechanism "key - lock". It follows that by introducing systems that exceed the obstacle to dialogue between the console and pirated software you get "the objective result of circumventing protection mechanisms applied on the protected area."
protection keys and remind us of something ...
Moreover, the Court concluded "in a completely unprovoked and apodictic that it is not possible to state with certainty that the removal of the protection of the console has as its main purpose is to violate the rights of creators by reading Games illegally copied. "
According to the Court, which incorporates the earlier decision of 2007 , changes must be recognized as "necessarily the overriding purpose of circumvention of protective measures indicated in Art. 102 cc into account a number of factors such as how in which the console is imported, sold and presented to the public the manner in which it is configured, the identified key target in the performance of video games as confirmed by the documents accompanying the product, the fact that some units, such as keyboard , mouse and video are not originally provided, and must eventually be bought separately. Hence the applicability art. 171, paragraph 1, lett. fa) l. 633/41, because its equally to all devices primarily designed to allow the circumvention of protective measures under Article. 102 cc.
The Court therefore annulled the decision of the review and the Court of Florence will have to decide about the story, but taking into account the principles established by the Court.
According to the writer, the decision of the Supreme Court is not acceptable, because in fact lead to lock the same ability to use any software not previously approved by the manufacturer of each console, but not illegal.
Moreover, regardless of any assessment regarding the "goodness" of art. 102-quater of Law 633/41, you really have to consider that, although it is true that mod chips are also used to play games copied or downloaded illegally, it is also true that the modified consoles (owned by the user) can run homebrew software and gain valuable numerous other functions. Just think of the famous software "XBMC" , media center designed for Microsoft Xbox (also available for Windows, OS X and Linux), or the possibility of making the same console a true NAS, as explained by its Tom's Hardware . It should therefore be proved that a certain modchip is primarily aimed at the violation of technological protection measures, but, in this case, it seems that this has been taken for granted, without any specific evidence to support this.

In this case, then, the Supreme Court has also taken into account, only the rights of holders of copyright on the game , forgetting the rights of purchasers of the console, which will be deprived, in fact, of possible changes, and thus to exploit other potential hardware they have legitimately purchased.
again, appeared to agree with the interpretation of the Court of Florence, in the review, said that the mechanism introduced by the manufacturer on the console, to limit the functionality does not seem to be a technological measure of protection from protected ' art. 102-quater of Law 633/41 . This article refers only to the technology affixed directly on the works or materials protected by copyright, while the modchip are placed outside of the medium containing the work of the protected (being installed at each console!).
One of the first modchip for the Xbox 360 - Click to enlarge
Finally, there are some doubts as to the following statement, attributed to the sentence given in pm "on the console is not changed, however, can be used, According to the chief anti-piracy, video games, even original, other manufacturers' What does this mean? It is well known fact that the modified consoles allow you to perform even the original software.

Conclusions

the light sentence No. 23765/2010 of the Supreme Court, could perhaps be considered that in Italy the sale of mod chips should be illegal. Fortunately, the precedents in our legal system, though important, do not have the force of law (in this case, however, the Supreme Court enunciated the principle of law that the Court of Florence will follow) and not binding on the courts (although can orient their activities to legal interpretation). It follows that, in future, the Court itself could change its orientation (a fact anything but that rare!) actually in the light of new arguments in other proceedings involving the same object.

Brief History of Console

Xbox 360 makes its entry into the market November 22, 2005 in America Settendrionale, December 2 in Europe and January 10 in Japan. E ' been produced by Microsoft, in collaboration with IBM, ATI and Samsung

Right from the start is extremely appreciated for quality games like Gears of War, Bioshock, Forza Motorsport 2 etc. .. In the future, the playground will not disappoint of course, followed by the reach of the games I just mentioned and the legendary Halo 3, Mass Effect 1 and 2 and many others.
History of the Xbox 360 is very complicated, made up of shadows and highlights. We start by saying that the console has been modified with incredible ease using a DVD update. Many then used the change to play with their backup copies or pirated games. A Microsoft this mattered little, because of to May 17, 2007 came the first wave of bans by the LIVE service for those who had modified their console. Moreover, having been open for editing (you see the model of DVD player) the guarantee was finally canceled.
few months after the release of the console, many (thousands?) Of users complaining about a problem that plagued their console: 'The Ring of Death':

What you see in the image has been badly've come to the nightmare of many (including myself). In practice, the cooling system of the console was completely inefficciente: 6X6 fans do not rotate so fast as to have a good console to recycle air. The sinks were poor, as well as the thermal paste used. Result? Feet that kept on CPU heat sinks and GPU melted and the console was going to be benedire.Dopo the thousands of reports, Microsoft decided that the guarantee be extended to 2 years! After 1 month of your trip to Germany would come back as a new xbox (and someone gets the prototypes future ...). Microsoft decides to revise the system so that the motherboard of console.Fu came the Xbox 360 version with HDMI and Falcon GPU system reviewed and a 175W power supply instead of 203 (The power supply was a cause of the overheating of the processor). Yes, although to a lesser extent, the 3 red LEDs continue to plague many owners of the console. The third generation will be the Jasper that will keep the same cooling system but the power supply this time will be at 150 W. Finally, the latest version is called Valhalla where The CPU and GPU are integrated into a single chip. It has a special port for connecting Kinetic without the need for additional power plus the new system allows the 3D.Insomma after 4 years since the Xbox 360 console has become a affidabile.Non bad eh? We only had to wait four years to ensure that our console does not replace the heater in your home!

Important Considerations

Co me for Windows Vista, there is little doubt that Microsoft knew or not that the consul had such defects. A giant like Microsoft will surely hundreds of checks on their cars before entering the market, so it's unlikely they had not noticed a problem so obvious, affecting about 90% of the console from Day One. So Microsoft almost certainly KNEW! But not only that ... the console was so "open" now that everyone was able to change them, and once banned from live, and without the console under warranty, they were forced to purchase the console. And you can be sure that the years did. Very smart move by microsoft. If you change the console is legal or not, we will try to understand it in the next article, but it certainly is not right to give us the console of cardboard! Once again Microsoft makes billions with dirty tricks and we forgive.

After the super flop Windows Vista (and here there is much to say Microsoft ...), after just three years is due to run for cover by releasing a new operating system: Windows 7.

simple name, but functional and elegant (the pronunciation is Windows Seven, yes 'seven' is not as elegant). The graphics are almost similissima to Windows Vista (the only thing that has struck the OS) belonging to the Sidebar Maxi, who had initially received a lot of disagreements, then revealing a nice change.

Wi
ndows 7 is released October 22, 2009 in seven different versions :

  • Starter Edition Windows 7 , reserved for netbooks and emerging markets;
  • Windows 7 Home Basic , addressed only to emerging markets;
  • 7 Windows Home Premium , available in stores and OEM full version and update;
  • Windows 7 Professional , designed for businesses, available in stores and OEM versions complete and updated;
  • Windows 7 Enterprise , reserved for companies with licensing plan "volume licensing;
  • Windows 7 Ultimate , which incorporates features of all previous versions and some additional, available in stores and OEM full version and update.
  • Windows 7 versions N , all previous versions, only with the lack of Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.



But now we do a step back ...
... is January 30, 2007, released the highly anticipated new operating system from Microsoft: Windows Vista!
It does not take too long to realize that our PC, which with XP were arrows , begin to slow down, crash and ask permission for any permissions on what we were doing. Vision was this: a system with multiple lines of code bugs, irritating to the intrusive UAC ( layer introducing a new mode in Windows account management and permits, allowing individual processes to reserve the minimum necessary privileges and to increase their privileges only when necessary), as well as the heaviness with which the PC (which at that time were equipped with 1 or 2 GB of RAM, 4 GB were reserved for bands much higher) should handle this new (and damn ...) OS. Needless to say, energy consumption was much higher than it was on XP. Not to mention compatibility problems: thousands of programs rewritten from scratch to be compatible.
HOWEVER, According to the statement, Windows Vista is the operating system that Microsoft sells more quickly since the his presentation. Microsoft said it sold 40 million copies in 100 days. The gain is stratospheric, for a product that was not even worth to be purchased, compared to the egregious Windows XP. WARNING: If this OS was so buggy, may in the thousands and thousands of tests that Microsoft has done before release, not if they are ever noticed? I would say that it is impossible not to notice. Operating Systems tested for the issue are not only tested by testers from around the world, but particularly the first thing you head is operating on PCs datati.A this point you may well ask: 'Microsoft has sold a product packed with bugs and flaws, extracting billions and knowing everything? '. I leave you reviews ...
Now we return to talk about Windows 7. Finally, the system is sleek and fast even on older PCs (well at least 1 GB of RAM is a must, but even the very small and not very powerful, netbook mountain now the default Windows 7). Finally there is a settable UAC (therefore less intrusive, or if you want) and a very good compatibility with the vast majority of software designed for Windows XP, thanks to XP MODE, which virtualizes the old OS on Windows 7 for maximum compatibility of software . The graphics are nice, with lots of customizable themes and gadgets (small program on your desktop). The OS is very stable, fast to set up, and do not keep the tens and tens of MB of temporary files that the predecessors kept a large amount of data dealing with the Hard Disk. The possibility of being subjected to attacks by viruses is very low than before, thanks to a virus Built-in (but which certainly can not replace an external). Trying some games you retrieve up to 2 or 3 fps (frames per second), on laptops the battery lasts longer, and the system heats up less. Finally, Windows 7 might be called a fast, secure and stable. The opposite of Vista, then. This does not mean that Microsoft has yet to many, but lots of explanation about some business moves very little like (he will soon follow considerations damn console Xbox 360, obviously produced by Microsoft. We will try to understand, that instill the technique is not commercial so different. See you soon.
