		<description>Riiiiiight.  I&#039;m spoiled and childish because I raise a stink about someone (in this case Microsoft) who is over extending their powers in a sense by banning anyone with a modded xbox, regardless if they&#039;ve used it for illegal/unethical means or not.  While this particular example of a company thinking they can exercise whatever control they want on your property is more justified, it opens up a door for other situations down the road that are far more questionable.  Are you in Microsoft&#039;s pocket or one of some game developer?  

If I want to mod MY property because it brings extra functionality that some BS red tape or corporate hand holding prevent than more power to me and everyone who employs such tactics.  You are the one that sounds childish, blindly missing the point and looking over that fact that I opened the question as to how Microsoft could go about it in a better way (read: I&#039;m open to other ideas than a blanket ban -- which is just plain stupid).  

SO in that sense, because I care about an end users&#039; rights more than I do some big corporate company who is only in it for themsevles I am childish.  Get a life.</description>
