I completely understand the issue that MS (or Sony, Nintendo, etc.) has with people modifying their consoles, but I feel if you buy something, you can do as you please with it - up to and including modding. We all know the underlying intention of most people (yeah... backups...), but how can you assume anything without concrete evidence?
Of course, IANAL and I'm sure the prosecution has DMCA verbiage on their side (along with the whole license agreements no one reads), but it's still kind of messed up.
