steveo129 - give it up with the PM's. i can't reply to them for some reason. you either comply with a mod or you don't. And you didn't. Also, you keep arguing, which is a huge no-no..

PAN5Y knows the rules and is changing the sig

umm...softmodding is not illegal. it's the hardmods that are. even then, it's not illegal to buy or install the chips, only to flash a bios onto them and make them functional in the xbox. at least, that's how it works in the US. i can't vouch for other nations.

also, in the US, backups are legal. someone said they aren't. they way it works is this: you are allowed to have one legal backup of whatever digital media you own. however, copy protection circumvention itself is illegal, leaving you between a rock and hard place, eh?

Yes, that's why on the front of the disc, it says "Do not make illegal copies of this disc.

exactly. if it said "do not make copies," that would mean all copies were illegal. however, since it says "do not make illegal copies," some form of copy must be legal. adds more to the confusion, eh? :(

So let me get this straight, you are allowed to make 1 copy for yourself but not distribute and any more than 1 is illegal?
