Xbox Live Class Action Being Investigated
eldavojohn writes "Were you negatively affected by the recent ban on Xbox Live for modifying hardware you own? Did you modify yours for homebrew or altering things you paid for and not to engage in piracy? Abington IP would like to hear from you and may be able to help. From that page: 'If you are an Xbox Live subscriber, had your modified Xbox console banned from Xbox Live, were not refunded a prorated sum for the time left on your subscription, or have experienced other problems as a result of being banned, and would like to participate in a class action against Microsoft, please submit your information below.' Someone is finally standing up for the legitimate hobbyists. Should Microsoft worry?"
Yes.
But how do they stop you?
Don't take life so seriously. No one makes it out alive.
>>>I know people who had their consoles banned for no reason and MS told them to go take a leap.
Stealing Is Our Profit

.
Through electronic net I see
Visions of monopoly,
The pains I can incur are fun,
Better than owning a gun...
That stealing is our profit,
We say screw the little shit
And we can take or leave it as we please.
The game of life is hard to play,
You're going to lose it anyway,
Just give up and do it our way;
So this is all we have to say...
That stealing is our profit,
We say screw the little shit
And we can take or leave it as we please.
The only way to win is cheat
So just bow down because you're beat
And to Microsoft give your cash
Or else you'll face our cruel cruel lash.
That stealing is our profit,
We say screw the little shits
We can take their money as we please.
