I live in Maryland and met Hitesh a while back. I had the misfortune of having to shop Pandora's Cube. While in there, he was pushing his modded Xbox filled with pirated games. I made an off handed comment like "an xbox full of games you don't have to pay for? Someone is likely to go to jail over that." Which he got at vulgar claiming that I had no fucking clue what I was talking about.

Wonder if they kept records...

***Guess the pirates will have to dismantle their e-commerce websites that sale and perform these kinds of modded services and go underground. ***
What kind of ships will these pirates be sailing away in?

Only illegal to pre-load games onto the HDD unless the owner already owns the games.
Modding isnt illegal but some specific mods are probably illegal if they contain copyrighted code. There are mods out there that do not have copyrighted codes (I would guess old ones would have copyrighted code while new ones dont)
If you own the game I dont see how it would be illegal to play it off the xbox hard drive instead of the original disk.
What would be illegal is copying games that you do not own to the hard drive.
I couldnt be wrong though its just my general idea of how it all goes.
