Man Arrested for Selling Hacked Consoles

[RemixDeluxe]

What I'm talking about is people trying to sell a console loaded with roms for a much higher price than they should expect if the console was clean.

Should make that more clear in your post then. Cause selling services is legitimate.

Ahahaha, what a tosser.

How?
Selling a tomato is exploiting the inability of someone to look up for a basic farming tutorial?
Tomatoes are free to farm! Being able to plant and farm your tomatoes is a right for every citizen!

PS: Work that you don't want to do yourself and prefer to pay another to do it for you is still work, I don't get your logic, by it every product or service somebody sells is a rip-off as someone could do it oneself after learning, that makes no sense! the idea is that you don't want to use your time on that!

Yeah, I realized that. If you look through the thread I changed what I meant. I'm more so mad because they sold pirated games and hacks that are supposed to be free.

It's illegal the moment money is accepted.

Why is it illegal at that point if you're providing a service to another person who cannot do it themselves and is willing to pay money?

You would have too look into the laws, but I asked my lawyer about it when my ex wife brought it up during the divorce. Once money is tendered, it's illegal.

and thats why kiddies if your gonna sell a hacked console REMOVE all digital games (Legal or not) you can keep your NNID (if it isn't banned) for the buyer to dl your legally obtained games (also don't be stupid and unlink your CC info) btw are there any countries where selling a hacked console is illegal (clean or not) ?

Once money is tendered for what?
For piracy? For hacking? For modifying a system?
Is a technician that installs new equipment in your car doing something illegal?
He modified the system (car).
Is somebody that provides a service in exchange for money doing something illegal?
Are you (or the average citizen) that exchanges a service (work) for money doing something illegal?
Are jobs that give you money illegal?
Are we communists? (kicking it out of the stadium)

Not familiar with USA laws on this but I bet there are charges of "false statement in public acts", "obstructing the course of justice" etc

 

[hobbledehoy899]

Woah there. What are they waiting? I sold hacked consoles many times.

He was selling them with pirated software already installed onto them.

A lot of them can be, yes, absolutely. Growing and selling drugs: illegal. Prostitution: illegal. Selling counterfeit products: illegal. These can all be jobs that you might work hard at where you provide a service in exchange for money, but that doesn't make those jobs automatically OK in the eyes of your government and often can be illegal depending on where you live.

I imagine all the police officer's sons being really happy with their new 3DSes.

 

[Jacklack3]

He deserves to be jailed for selling 3dslink cards.

Let alone selling 3DS flashcarts.

Well, also depends on where I suppose.
E.g. prostitution is not illegal at all in this land, AFAIK.
What leads to, piracy is illegal in plenty of places, but hacking/modding a console... well, not in as so many places.

Once you jailbreak the system and money is tendered. So therefor if you are paid to jailbreak iphone , root android/firestick, etc it's illegal.

Why can't people just mod it themselves!? And what exactly was he arrested for? Piracy?
