US videogame retailer jailed for piracy

Pandora's Cube owner faces imprisonment and heavy fines
A Maryland-based retailer who sold illegally modified Xbox consoles
pre-loaded with pirate games has been sentenced to 5 months in prison
and fined almost USD 250,000.
It's unfortunate he pre-loaded them with games. I would have liked to
have seen what the court said about modification in general. If he had
just sold the machines with the mod chip and the bigger hard drive with
no pirated software would he have been in as much trouble?
Time will tell...
