Gryph Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 http://yahoo.reuters.com/financeQuoteCompa...08100947_newsmlAuthorities arrested two store employees on charges of conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and conspiracy to traffic in a device that circumvents technological protection measures, the ESA said. And...http://www.boingboing.net/2004/12/08/feds_...dc_gaming_.htmlThey were also preloading the XBox systems with tons of emulators (arcade and console) and as many ROMs as they could find. I watched a customer walk in and ask about a specific original GameBoy game - the employee immediately fired up a GameBoy emulator with the appropriate ROM right there on the demo XBox and handed the customer the controller to play with. I was shocked. What a bunch of morons... selling modded consoles and expecting to get away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryph Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 They were arrested for "conspiracy to commit copyright infringement and conspiracy to traffic in a device that circumvents technological protection measures" which means for selling modded XBOXes. And they also had full XBOX games on them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
