...the people were stealing x-box accounts?(not really a crime) ...and then sold them/returned the "gold membership" for a refund?(definitely grounds for theft.) what would the repercussions be? I would think it would e the same as stealing someone else's videogame and returning the game back to best buy or something. am i on the wrong path or what?

eldavojohn writes "Were you negatively affected by the recent ban on Xbox Live for modifying hardware you own? Did you modify yours for homebrew or altering things you paid for and not to engage in piracy? Abington IP would like to hear from you and may be able to help. From that page: 'If you are an Xbox Live subscriber, had your modified Xbox console banned from Xbox Live, were not refunded a prorated sum for the time left on your subscription, or have experienced other problems as a result of being banned, and would like to participate in a class action against Microsoft, please submit your information below.' Someone is finally standing up for the legitimate hobbyists. Should Microsoft worry?"

Microsoft Banning Modded Xboxen 176

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday November 10, 2004 @03:28PM from the cry-me-a-river dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Since the release of Halo 2 (ed: and just before), Microsoft has been banning modified Xboxes from Xbox Live. Some have even been banned with their mod-chips turned off. Previously many users had been able to use Xbox Live provided they disabled their mod-chip. There are a few theories floating around as to how MS is doing this: from scanning the hard-drive for non-MS material to being able to check if the DVD-drive/Hard-disk serial number is from stock or not."
