Whilst I see your point the two things are not equal.Funny how members of this board feel that it is poor form to return a self-damaged console to the point of purchase yet have no qualms installing modchips and, eh em, "backing up" and playing copyrighted material.Â
I'm not condoning either practice but lets have a little balance here!
"Backing up" is copyright infringement (which cannot be considered theft as nothing has been physically taken away from the owner) whilst returning a "self-damaged console" is defrauding a business, I'm not sure exactly how you classify that.
Are they both wrong? we can all judge that for ourselves. Are they both illegal? I would say so. Are they balanced? They're not the same thing so I guess it depends what 'weight' you give to each of them.
