I absolutely agree with ya on the freedom and modding part. I own it, it is mine to do with as I please.

But I would also like to note, coming from a father who has had kids destroy many a CD disc with scratches and such…long before XBOX360 either….I’m all for the true meaning of playing “backups”. ---fudgesicle--- destroying a $50-$60-$70 “game” just because the disc is scratched, or loaned it out to their buddies and they scratched it all to hell. Burn me a copy, let them play that one, when it gets messed up beyond playability, I burn me another one.

Exactly.
The modding “service” part has nothing to do with what the owner of the unit does with it after that.

No exceptions.

If that were true, then why isn’t this case about that ?
This guy is being tried for giving the machines the “ability” to do that, he is not being tried for any actual pirated software.
Totally bogus.

I mod 360s. I do not sell the games. Of course I dont do it as a business, I just do it for friends and what not. Also, I dont charge for the mod. I also own more 360 games then you that I bought new.

Ed_McCarron:
Even if you just do the modchip and don't supply ANY pirated games, you are supplying a pirated version of the xboxes bios, right?  I've always wondered why they didn't make a fuss about that.

Malenko:
That mean Im not like that guy, or that its not 100% of the time?

SavannahLion:
Oh good. You did. Now how about posting relevant comments instead of your usual ass ones?
