Would he still have gotten arrested if he had modified an XBOX to run old Dreamcast games? Both platforms use some type of Windows so, it's not inconceivable that something like that might work...

Ah, the DMCA strikes again. One of the dumbest laws ever.

That is just the stupidest thing ever! I mean, what harm was the guy doing? Playing pirated video games....ohhhh what a demon child this guy is....

Things like this, give me little hope as a society in general. Aren't there other things in the world to worry about?

Copyright infringement is Serious Business!

The DMCA is a raging crock but unfortunately it doesn't seem we'll be rid of it anytime soon. Not as long as monied interests are buying laws.
