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 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?

Can you imagine windows auto update deciding you don't need your My Docs folder
