Re: From the Sounds of it. said by BF69:You can buy a used Ford from a neighbor. Does The local Ford dealer have an obligation to fix your car if your neighbor sold you a lemon? Nope. MS can disable used games if they want. It's dumb and shortsighted but legally there is nothing wrong with that. Analogy fail. It would be akin to Ford making all vehicles no longer owned by the original buyer inoperable by having all vehicles constantly linked into a central computer which tracks ownership and usage and "authorizes" the vehicle to run. A "used" vehicle would be blocked from running and be required to be shredded whole. Used vehicles, used parts, all would be illegal, as would circumventing the tracking and logging system, that would also be a crime. That would be a proper analogy.
