'Banned' Xbox Hacking Book Selling Fast
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-05-08

Hacker-engineer Andrew "Bunnie" Huang says he's already pre-sold between 400 and 500 copies of his self-published tell-all "Hacking the Xbox: an Introduction to Reverse Engineering," weeks before its scheduled May 27th publication date, despite -- or perhaps because of -- looming suspicions by some that the book skirts the edges of legality.

Yes, I understand all of your concerns, but the BIG picture here has nothing to do with just making simple modifications to your Xbox, like running Linux on it. This issue has to deal with modifying it and using it in an illeagal manner, like stealing games. A man is writing a book teaching people how to steal using their Xbox and they are banning it, because what Kazaa, Morpheaus, and others have tought us...you can't trust people not to overcome to temptation. Argue the issue till you are blue in the face...if you didn't come by it honestly then it isn't yours.
