Thanks to ArsTechnia for the story. Its definitely interesting. To those who have not heard, here is the situation. Matthew Crippen, the 28-year old man in the said trail, ran a small business from his home modifying the firmware on Xbox 360's to enable them to run pirated games (and homebrew games, but who talks about that?). This was apparently in violation of the DMCA, since it circumvents the measures designed to protect the copyrighted material. There was even a video of an undercover ESA agent paying him $60 to mod an Xbox 360 and even shows him playing a pirated game to prove it works. The case was dismissed when the prosecutor, Allen Chiu, claimed the government made errors in their prosecutions. The full story is in the link.
So what do you think? You guys relieved that your Xbox's can be hacked for another day (or some other generic closer)? Tell me what you think in the comments!
