Look, this isn't all that different than restrictions placed on motor vehicles. You can remove the restrictor plates from your sports car, but you can't drive it on public roads for safety reasons. If you "mod" your car then you don't get tax dollars back from the government because you violated the law.
I am constantly amazed at how the internet community seems to think that nothing is taboo, and that they can justify their crappy behavior by blaming corporations. Piracy... it's not wrong because game companies make too much money. Hacking... it's their fault for not securing their servers.
All this lawsuit is going to do is force MS to clamp down even harder, which will hurt the MAJORITY of people who just want to enjoy the service without some jerk with a modded box cheating on games. But then again these people have already proved that they don't care about anyone but themselves. Let's not pretend this is some altruistic fight-the-man scenario.
