text:
Operation Tangled Web is the name of a raid conducted in 2007 by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of a crackdown on modchips and copyright circumvention devices. These devices allowed third-party software or unauthorized copies of video games to be played on video game systems. Agents raided 30 businesses and homes that distributed or used these devices. The use of copyright circumvention devices and arguably modchips is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
