If the judge really believed that every single person that buys a modded product intends to use it nefarious purposes then he needs to be removed from the bench because he is delusional at best and really just unfit to perform his duties.

That's not remotely what I said. He modded these consoles to be used to play pirated games. That's the specific charge, and there's zero room for him to claim enough ignorance of that use as to not be responsible for it.

I don't know why so many people insist on interpreting this as "they want to make modding illegal!", but that's not at all what's going on here. Modding is legal. It's piracy that's not. He's in trouble for modding the consoles for piracy's sake, not for modding in general.
