It's still legal (to do what you want with your property in this
instance) in Spain & Italy

"However, in Italy a judge threw out Sony's case saying it was up to
owners of a console what they did with it.

Similarly in Spain, mod chips are seen as legal despite the EU
copyright legislation. "

Personaly I hate this. I want digital copies of music I own to play at
work and because the CD medium does degrade and is fairly easily
damaged. Similarly with games and films.
