If I've completely got the wrong end of the stick, I'll post a retraction when I've read it. :D Shoot first, trite insincere apology later. |

Hahaha...enjoyed that! Well put. The victim seems to count for little these days. |

| 523645 | 2007-02-14 11:47:00 | well the 14y/o would have gotten off scott free anyway, so it doesn't matter. as far as MS is concerned, they don't want a lawsuit because they divulged confidential information, and must maintain a reputation of not abusing their vast data stores on each of us. really, the police should have hurried up with the court order. now, that kid was pretty stupid to call up and give the rego number, can't MS block a registered xbox from all the online content if the registered owner declares it stolen? if not they should, it's just like the VIN/chassis/engine numbers on cars, except imprinted on some ROM somewhere and used to log on to xbox live could stop pirates too if they are emulating an xbox on their pc |
