But what good is making homebrew legal if the act of Modding and jailbreaking a console is illegal?įor hours, I tried looking for counter arguments to this whole notion of modding specifically gaming consoles is illegal and only found a few things that potentially contradict, particularly the comments in this thread I found very interesting: īut this thread was an exception.
A long while ago, I asked about the legality of homebrew and was pointed to several very interesting legal documents that if I recall correctly, pointed in favor of homebrew. I go to several threads of people asking if this is legal or if that is illegal and on every thread I get the same three responses.įor the longest time I accepted these notions without thought. So modding video game consoles is actually illegal?įor about 5 years, I was under the mindset the modding video game console that you own to play backups that you own and to play homebrew made by others was completely legal.
