[QUOTE="Zub, post: 1010147, member: 6211"] So in a general sense, If I removed or deleted all hardware that contained embedded code whose sole purpose was to make this system a dedicated X-box gaming machine from the XBOX, and replaced it with my own, I wouldn't be violating any copyright? I'm still not buying this. Didn't SONY try to take BLeem off the market and fail? Using the same reasoning, could GM prevent me from using a non GM parts in my car because I'd be circumventing what they intended? For example, GM starts placing RF ID tags on oil filters. The car will now only start if the oil filter has an RF tag that has a certain embedded code. It would be illegal for me to manufacture a compatible oil filter that contained an RF tag? It would also be illegal to replace the processor in my car with a chip that did not check the oil filter for an authorized RF tag? GM could claim they were doing this because only GM oil filters were of high enough quality? That would be insanity. I'm surprised they haven't come up with it yet? [/QUOTE]
