    A reminder to all those people modding other people's xboxes, don't be greedy, dont advertise and dont include games. The less people w/modded boxes the better imo: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4650225.stm

    btw ELSPA nabbed that idiot which is a european organisation not just UK. I dont know if Ireland has enacted the European Copyright Directive in the same way as the UK have but I came across this which seems to suggest that it has:
    Protection of Technological Measures
    This is another mandatory provision of the Directive and it was implemented by the 2000 Act. Copyright rights-holders are provided with rights and remedies against persons who unlawfully circumvent technological measures designed to protect certain copyright materials. The 2000 Act contains measures to protect encryption and other technological protection devices and makes it an offence to make or sell devices that are designed to circumvent rights protection technologies.

    Quoted from http://www.landwellglobal.com/ie/eng/aboutus/svcs/ip/pubsart/hi_ie_eng_copyright.html
    That's a very broad statement but I guess modchips flashed with cromwell are still okay.
