I call bullshit on this just like everyone else. The American government/corporations need to stop dictating what the rest of the world should/shouldn't do.

Good Chronic, lax copyright laws. Seems like Canada's the place to be.

You have to wonder at stuff like this... if selling modchips is the extent of publicized gang activity that requires further administrative action in Canada, then compared to what I have seen of the states we got it good.

Shhh! Don't let it get out, we already pay immigrants enough to live here on our dime! (that is using the term "live" loosely, many seem to do more like "nest" and "have litters" on welfare dollars). I mean, everyone's gotta start somewhere... but don't tell the landlord you have 1 kid, move in upstairs above me, and bring the other 9 over too...

The Hells Angels distrubutin mod chips    Yeah Right!

[cyberhoanter]

First of all, Hells Angels is not a gang of law breaking thugs, there just a misrepresented minority like most of my peeps (mexicans)

Second, maybe we should start a couple of anti-corporation acts here in the states to get there minds of this nonsence

Third, I used to live in Tijuana, Mexico and if there is a bigger bootleg central than this place then the world will end in seven days

Lastly, if we as people continue to allow this level of unjustice in this world then we have submitted ourselves to the will of those bastards.

       


If Canada goes.... there will be no where left to hide

Lets be realistic here. If not a criminal organization, then surely an organization with a high percentage of criminal members. I suspect it's both.

Because taking down pirates is more important then global warming....

Hmm.

This is very funny indeed.

OPA has been here in Toronto for 20 years now, and have always been building mods
for Video Games since the very start, even producing those 64in1 SNES carts.

But Bikers? -- I don't know were they that from, most of the mod-chip business in Ontario
has been taken over by the China clones and I never see one of them with Biker or on
Motorcycle.

I know almost everyone in this business including the guys running the Divneo.ca branch
out of Montreal and most of hot market in BC, along with all the stores in Ontario doing
modding and shipping products out like "modchip.ca", etc.

But Again Bikers? --- I only know of one store that ONCE took a silent $1,000 investment
from a EX-biker, and they after five years in business got shut-down by a RCMP operation.

And there is many good laws here in Canada, and the china-malls get raided at least once
or twice a year for the pirate-movies or audio-cds being sold.

True there is no law against modding your own system, but stores selling pre-modded systems
have been raided, but no action against them afterwards, or any action towards ".ca" websites.

Personally I know alot of the RCMP here, and they are too busy worry about the REAL problems
here in Canada, and Bikers here are mostly into FAKE prescription drugs which I think we need
LAWs against these BAD people, as it can hurt and KILL people. Mod-chips don't hurt people.

Even the china-market is more busy in Toronto with Sweatshops producing FAKE hip-hop
products from shoes to cloths and cd's, which is more money than cheap $10 modchips.

Alot of Canadian record companies have it correct that have even offered to pay for people sued by the Riaa for geting their music. They realize the industry / public relationship is not one way and they don't make their customers feel like crap. They see how online sharing can help groups grow in recognition. Wish companies in this country weren't so fing greedy, Offtopic: WTF? I have to pay to make a payment to my credit card or bank over the phone? Im already paying you money!!!


Edit

"and they are too busy worry about the REAL problems
here in Canada" Nice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If we did that here our jails wouldn't be overflowing at this point.

"Blame Canada!"

They should get a grip and start hunting down the eBay fraudsters that operate out of China instead.  These are the real criminals.

[adamscybot]

Well here in the UK the government PRETENDS to be bothered but you can go piracy galore and set-up a modchip shop and they will turn a blind eye.

Sure, they've raided a few places but those are the guys who really have took it to far and are starting to bring it into the main stream with loads of advertising etc. Otherwise, its all small talk.

LMAO! This has made my day, despite being 11:30am.
If mod chips aren't illegal then why would a crime rings control it? They gonna come round and drive on your plants if you sell them.

(When I was typing that I missed some letters and it said "They gonna come round and dive on your pants"   )
