Hardware Legality on selling modified 3DSes

[kehkou]

EULAs aren't laws. Actual laws trump EULAs every time. If a eula says "you can't do this" but then there's a law saying you can do that then the EULA is invalid.

Then someone should tell that to Sony.

Do it, no one will care. No one does here right now anyway.

I've been selling softmodded 3DSes since the days of creating an emunand, formatting it and then writing to the sysnand.

It's a legal grey area and I never install pirated games/software for the customers.

EULA's are almost never legally binding. In most places it's legal to modify anything you own. You are almost always entitled to sell your own property. It's when you profit specifically from modding that it becomes a grey area, and that's typically because you're enabling piracy and copyright infringement as people have already said. Depends on local law, but selling one modded unit because you no longer want it is different than modding and flipping units as a business as well.

What about giving away a modded system for free? Is that illegal?
So you can say that the mod was $80 or however much you plan to sell the system for, and the system was given away for free.
So your charging for the mod *wink* *wink* and not selling the system. *wink* *wink*
