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.

1. MS doesn't have to prove that you modded XBox to steal games. They just need to prove that you violated DMCA. And in order to violate you just need to hack (crack, bypass, whatever) protection system. The moment you do something the manufacturer didn't want you to do, and created a protection against that - boom - you can go to jail. The law is not even relevant to pirating.
2. Microsoft is not interested just in sales of XBox. The more XBoxes they sell, more money they loose. And I don't see how this book can increase the sales of games themselves.
