No way

Somebody is now going to find a way to make sure Microsoft does not know that the consoles have been tampered with. The bad guys always find a way to improvise on their cheating. The good guys often dont spend that time to stay ahead of the bad ones.

Then have it re-banned? I'd imagine this isn't a one time crack down.

Seconded! Look, if a game's good, why can't people just put their hand in their pocket and buy the bloody thing!? If it's crap, then why do you want it in the first place? Bloody pirates. Well done MS for screwing them for a change...

BBC - Newsbeat - Xbox gamer 'gutted' after cut off

I knew this guy was a tosser when I read this bit:

"I've probably saved about ?600 and I've copied roughly 30 or 40 games. A lot of them I've downloaded or I've taken off friends that have downloaded themselves."
