I’m glad these digital terrorists were caught.

I can sleep safely now! Thank goodness the War On Terror is working. Go Department Of Homeland Security!

“All three men how face up to five years in jail”

Yes they fucked up, but this is a case where fines and a lot of community service would be a more fitting punishment. Jails in the U.S. are overcrowded, so the question is who are you going to let out to put these guys in? We already had this problem in the U.S. during the “war on drugs”, where violent offenders were being released in order to let more drug offenders in. Of course in Amerikaka stealing from the cartels is a much greater offense than hurting or killing some average Joe.

Sell modified xboxs for inports and backups – maybe illegal.
Sell modified xboxs out of a retail store with advertising – maybe illegal, probally stupid.
Sell modified xboxes out of a retail store and included 77 ‘free’ games – both illegal and stupid.

This is the sort of thing that makes people think that mod chips themselves are always illegal. They did not get charged just because they sold modifed xboxs, they were charged because they aslo included 77 games with the xbox. Unless they aslo included 77 retail discs with the xbox that is a clear and shut case and they deserve what they get.
