That article is TERRIBLE.
- They seem to make MS bad for not explaining their banning process. They don't explicitely tel you these things so it's harder for pirates, the very people their condemning at the start of the article, to get around this process.
- They assume re-verify only means they make sure they only banned the correct console. They do not know that, for all they know that's simply the term they use. Who knows, for all they know they might be right that it's simply a flag that gets turned on your console from the background app that they say is there and all it takes to re-investigate is to re-verify that flag was set.
- If you do the crime, make sure you can do the crime. Who gives a fuck if pirates lose all their DLC they bought?
- THIS DOESN'T SAY ANYWHERE COSMETIC MODIFICATIONS GETS YOU BANNED! Where the fuck does this keep coming up? Is it from the unauthorized upgrades? Are people really that stupid to think that means cosmetic upgrades? Jesus people, grow a damn brain. You won't get banned for modding your case, the most that will be done is having your warranty voided.
- It's very clear in the terms that only MS can make repairs if you want the warranty to cover them. It's no secret that if you have some outside person repair your 360, your warranty is gone. I have no idea why they act so surprised. If you want the free service, you just have to deal with the extra time.
Really, this is just a terrible article and it seems like it's only out to villify Microsoft.

Agreed. Especially about the warranty issue. Do you know how many companies let you crack open their product, tinker with it, send it out to someone now officially qualified to work on it, and THEN respect a warranty? There's virtually no product in ANY category that allows that.
As I read that article, it was abundantly clear that the writer didn't like Microsoft, and used semantics and supposition to make banning pirates somehow seem bad.
