Submission + - Xbox modding might be "fair use"..? (wired.com)
SmarterThanMe writes: Matthew Crippen, who allegedly played around with his Xbox in such a way that he would have been able to play pirated games or homebrew software (ie, circumvent the DMCA protections on the device), is preparing his defence on the basis that his modification was "fair use". His lawyers are referring to a similar case involving modding of iPhones where it was accepted as a "fair use" situation.
