Brits break the law if they buy overseas DVDs or computer games 'unauthorised' for UK and play them on their PCs.
This comes as implication of ruling in the UK Court yesterday over sale of 'mod-chips' for Sony Playstation in UK.
The Judge in the case said "Sony licensed games for the territory that they were issued, the licensing of these games did not allow their use in other territories, therefore whether they were imported for private use by personal purchase for instance via the internet,
or purchased abroad on holiday, they were not allowed by Sony to be played outside of the licensed territory, this argument should be upheld."
In effect this makes it illegal in UK to play computer games and DVDs purchased from abroad.
