I agree but this is not what he got arrested for. He got arrested for chipping an XBOX or more specifically from the article, "Under that directive, it is illegal to circumvent copy protection systems."

The selling of the stuff is just what got him caught.

Obviously that's correct, but then again I never said that's "WHAT HE GOT ARRESTED FOR".. I said that's why he "DESERVES A LITTLE JAIL TIME".

It was more of a personal view point.. And now that you touched on it.. I would've rather sent a man to prison for getting rich off of stolen goods than have sent a simple ordinary Joe installing a chip for what it was intended for... Backing up his expensive ass software to protect his investment.
