Feds Bust Xbox Pirates

At first glance this seems like an over zealous bust for selling modded Xboxes (which I know is illegal under the DMCA but surely they have terruhists to catch instead?) but it seems the places raided had went one step further.

As well as modding the Xboxes with mod chips and bigger hard drives the shops were installing ripped games on the Xbox hard drive and displaying them as bundles in store! One customer even went in asking about the availability of a Gameboy cart and was shown it on the Xbox along with lots of of other carts.

Regular readers will know Iwe (well except for Dogs but he's just a hypocrite!) don't give a monkey's about piracy of games / music / films / whatever (see this and this amongst others) due to it being payback for years of ripping off from the other direction - I certainly buy more digital media than the average person so that's enough to salve my conscience. I don't however agree with people making money from piracy. Hopefully they'll be getting taste of this soon. Remember kids - don't buy your warez at a car boot sale - download them yourself.
