Re: Law Firm Contemplates Class Action Suit To Recompense Xbox L said by Lazlow:Any time you buy something it is yours to do with as you please(within your control). it's in the TOS when you join XBOX Live if you mod your console you will be banned. Since you have to AGREE with the TOS before joining XBOX LIVE these people don't have a leg to stand on. You can't AGREE to something then be mad when the other side acts on that agreement.
There are tons of reasons to mod hardware that have nothing to do with illegal activity. Take a look at the Linksys wrt5g router as an easy example. If it were not for people doing mods on this router we would not have a quarter the features that are now standard on home routers. People making mods to current equipment is how we get new features and capabilities today.
Bit of difference between a router and a XBOX 360. And at any rate if you mod your Linksys router you void your warranty. Or should Lynksis be sued over that too? |

I was not arguing with the live portion, just your statement that the only thing modders do is for illegal purposes. Why is there a difference between an Xbox and a router, as far as modding? There is not. You mod to add capability and features. Obviously people want to do certain things that are not available to be done on a standard Xbox, otherwise there would be no mods. This applies to virtually any hardware out there. |
