PS2 are the most fragile console (even you admit this), they die a lot with or without backups. Which was the point I was making. If you play a lot on crappy media, then sure you're going to damage it, but I know people on their 3rd PS2 even though they've never modded it. It's the most returned console. You'll do more damage by shaking the console.
Modding is illegal, for the reason that they enable playing illegal backups. Of course modders don't want to be blamed for enabling people to play backups, so they tell you not to do it. Whether fair or not, they will be blamed for it, and let's face it, it is the number 1 reason most people mod it (importers like you guys are in the minority).
What you do after drinking alcohol is your own responsibility. It's easy to punish you for speeding or reckless driving or whatever. It's much harder to put a lid on piracy, which is why it's stopped at the source (i.e. the modders).
So back to the point... yes they will tell you not to play backups. But they're blowing it out of proportion. Be sensible, and don't use media that costs 2 cents (or pennies or whatever it's called over there). And don't play DVD rips. The laser on the PS2 is so **** I wouldn't suggest playing CD rom games of any type (legit or not).
