And that could be applied either to the idiot who sold modded Xboxes,
*WITH GAMES INSTALLED* and the court system which seems to think that

the console. This guy is an absolute textbook case of piracy - selling
copyright material for money - so why is the modification of the console
the big issue?

Extolling the virtues of the cinema, and the inferior experience of using
pirated films, to _people who are already at the cinema_ ?
It's like the pulpit bashing preacher, threatening eternal damnation to
non-church-goers, to those _actually in the church_!
