This guy didn't sign up for XBox Live, didn't agree to a EULA, and has several legitimate gripes about what MS has done to the system he legitimtately aquired and uses for a variety of purposes, including playing his legitimate XBox games.
Here's a followup (www.theinquirer.net/?article=11548&foo=Microsoft%20auto-updates%20bug%20in%20%20Xbox%20software%20 newwindow) on The Register. Among other concerns, it mentions that if this is deemed to be legal on the XBox, what's to keep Billy & co. from doing the same thing to your PC?
