Funny story from banned XBOX gamer

Haha...pirates got owned.

After watching krazy8 go to jail for selling modchips from isonews, I'm having a hard time feeling bad for people who get banned for modding their consoles.

Really. It was a risk when you modded the xbox that you could be banned and it's really not an overly zealous reaction on Microsoft's part. It's not like they bricked the xbox.

The problem is that MPAA, RIAA, Microsoft (in this case) and other entities attempting to enforce their legal rights (as they should be able to do) do so in entirely infuriatingly aggressive and blunt ways by resorting to such approaches. In some cases (MPAA/RIAA) they do so by piggy-backing on borderline un-Constitutional laws that they lobby for, and I can't support that, but on the other hand you can't deny that pirating songs/music/software is a form of theft and they should be legally protected from pirating.

Way to take a side there, champ!

Whatever, kid has an XBox 360 and enough money to rent 60 games and make illegal backups. He's not that poor. Sure, he's not wealthy, but being banned from XBox Live isn't in the same ballpark as not eating because your paycheck is late. This kid is just a whiny prick with an entitlement mentality. Stick him in the Army for a couple of years; it's just like COD but you get paid for it!

but there's no respawn location... as soon as they implement that I'm in.

No, the poor need to work on bettering themselves, not just quit and accept their poorness.

I say send them all to australia then.

The poor see bettering themselves as mooching off the system, stealing, and other crime.

Hardcore mode. No respawns.

I'm sorry... but all I read in that was
"I stole games, got caught, and got banned!! WHAAAAAA!!!"

Did not read all the replies but being that the Xbox starts at $199 why not just buy another one if yours is banned and play games online with that and the other your pirate games. Heck pirate 4 games and you are at break even or better for some of the $60 ones.
