He is back next week I hear, also hear he was a cnut with sending empty jiffy's.

You have to remember, this wasn't a new law, it was judgment on an individual case.

but the judgement could be used to put off other prosecutions.

The article on the reg is a little misleadin, it doesnt make this legal - it just makes it harder for it to be proven illegal. As it says, the same thing happened in Australia and the chips where banned a year later.

Any loophole they will soon plug as for mrmodchips trading standards had so many complants and had took him to court before which he had gone off, with they had to be showing they where doing things and even now I dont think they will leave him alone they will watch his every move.
