And let's not forget that not all of the people who post and/or read the forums are in the US and fall under it's laws.  Go look up the word "ethnocentrism" llyod and realize there are others outside of your small, lonely circle of dorkville.

Well it did in Australia.

There's no point in asking the opinion of a copyright lawyer. Most of them are hired by large corporations to protect the interests of said corporations. That's how they earn their living so they're hardly impartial.

Even if your extreme interpretation of the DMCA is correct (and I don't believe it is), the fact remains that it's still very bad law. It goes way beyond simply protecting intellectual property rights and attempts to curtail well established ownership rights. The act is definitely open to legal challenge as M$ found out to its cost.

Lloydcom, some people are intelligent enough to disagree without being disagreeable.  You don't seem to be one of these people.  I won't even try to reason with you because you are an unreasonable person.  You have failed to see anything except what you want to see, and of course have chosen only to find information which supports your limited and misguided view. 

The "old guys" on this site are very welcoming to newcomers and if you actually want to build arcade controls, then many here will help you.  Otherwise, you would be making the first intelligent decision of your BYOAC career by choosing to STFU!

I've made a motion; I need a second.  Someone please second my motion and then everyone post your vote:  BAN or NO BAN for lloydcom.

Wow that coming from a Wiki contributor?  Well I must be a bad person for making my comments accurate with a creditable source for my argument.  Shame on me for wanting to stop copyright theft, shame on me for protecting IP rights of individuals.  Shame on me.

So if it is a ban for me, then I take it with pride.  They shot Martin Luther King Jr. for his views, why not shoot me too? Coming to think about it they get rid of a lot of people for their views, poliitcal or otherwise.  This thread is becoming political, I'm sure a sanction will come for my comments.

Oh and are we calling xbox mods the same as terrorism?  We are if you are silenced for the right of free speech, and showing your point in legal fact.  If I remember Saint's post that he didn't know that it was illegal to mod a xbox, and I showed him publicly, so to change his rules of the board and protect him against any threat to his site.

If that is the case - then you have no other reason other to ban me.

Shame on me?  Shame on you.

Edit: *Yes I changed the correct title to my reference - apologies for the oversight.  I cannot vouch for those who work in the software business, but I would like Saint and any moderator to prove that my legal fact is wrong. 

And yes I do not live in the US, but the UK has laws that already ban modding, so that point is moot. Austrailia laws will change with the FTA.  I've looked on tons of xbox fourms and their mods don't allow sales of modded xbox 360s or any such talk.  The King comment is a bit extreme,  and my sincere apologies for using it out of context but he was silenced for his views, just like you posters are promoting a ban to silence my views as my comments are not politically correct. 

Besides who like a trouble maker or a person rocking the boat.

Where does this get me? 

Hopefully someone will take responsibility, because if someone gets caught selling something illegal off this site - I would be very sorry to see Saint get into any trouble.  But reading the other poster's views,  on the subject, makes me think you don't care.

Wow, you're really kool that you've been on the innernets so long.  I bet you got some p*rn collection that you paid for too.

Stop modding the internet by posting.  It infringes my copyright.

And I second that motion.  Lloyd = stinky.

DON'T COMPARE WHAT YOU ARE DOING WITH WHAT DOCTOR KING DID. 

That is pathetic.  And it was Dr. Martin Luther King JUNIOR.  His father, often referenced for his work also, was known as Martin Luther King Sr.  If you want to butcher a source of pride for ALL Americans, peddle your ---smurf-poop--- somewhere else you ---smurfing--- <<<censored by saint>>>
