Feel like modding your XBOX for friends? Beware…

Michael Crippen was arrested by Homeland Security Agents for modifying and enabling Xbox video game consoles to play copied games. He was charging $30 per mod.

Whoa, he faces 10 years in the slammer… he’s currently out on $5,000 bond. At that lower bond level, seems unlikely he’ll get the full 10.

Obviously he was targeted for making a business out of this.

His defense: Merely helping folks make legal backups. Sounds… harmless enough…
