What a poor geek, Neil Higgs, 38, has been arrested and found convicted on 26 copyright charges. This geek has dubbed himself as “Mr Mod Chips”, is someone who is simply good at making video game chips that allow pirated games to be played on popular consoles like Microsoft’s Xbox.
The guy has been selling online those “god” chips that allow many to play those pirated games. The inspector in charge of this case found 3,700 illegal chips, imported from Hong Kong and 19 modified Xbox consoles in his parent’s house. He would be the first modder to go to jail if he was found guilty.
