Massive Mod Chip Raid Sweeps Nation

Welcome to the start of America's Police State under the guise of "Homeland Security".

Generally, I'm ethically on "their" side, but this quote is simply not true "Illicit devices like the ones targeted today are created with one purpose in mind, subverting copyright protections".

I use my xbox1 almost 100% to use XBMC.. That's all I ever do with it, games can bore me to $#@!s... There's heaps of awesome homebrew on most hacked consoles that interest me far more than games you want to play for ten minutes... However, I do agree that MOST that have modded their consoles ALSO download and play illegal copies of games, and one cannot claim to have the right to do that. They make the games to get food on the table.

I'm just tired of people trying to use every possible explanation why they should have the right to use software some people have worked hard for.. If you think games are too expensive, protest or simply don't buy them.

Dear god. I'm glad federal budget is going towards this.

"32 federal search warrants"? that does sound massive.

Protect the Homeland? Didn't Hitler do something similar?

Again we see the true colors, Which is protect the corporations, not the people.

Mommy! I want to be an ESA lobyist when i grow up!

Only AMerica.......

you wish. we've had a similar situation in the uk for a couple of years now. the guy who originally modded my xbox now resides in prison
(admittedly, he was an enormous pirate too )

And yet imported hard drugs and automatic weapons flood our streets.
Corporations before people. :/

Since when are mod chips illegal in the states!? I thought land of the free home of the brave was one of the few places they were legal.

Anybody know if they're legal here in Japan? I haven't tried to find out since my Xbox and PSP don't need it.
