Haven't we already been through this?
From the new rules:
[quote]Do not discuss unauthorized modification of console game hardware or software, even if you're not trying to cheat or pirate.[/quote]
In my philosophy of law class yesterday, we discussed why exactly laws are so complicated. Everyone interprets them differently, and their meanings change over time.
But why does this rule have to be so vague? What's the goal of the rule? To prevent people using Bungie.net to find out how to cheat? To prevent people from using this site to find out how to mod their 360? To stop all discussion on modifications?
If it's to prevent cheating, why not just combing this rule with the rule about cheating? "Detailing methods of cheating, including console modifications is not allowed".

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos Semantics. I don't really care what "right" they have to authorize things. This is a policy document, not a legal one. The context matters. And besides, most people don't understand all the nuances of law in this area (especially considering how different it is when you cross international boundaries), so talking about the legal definition of "authorize" is silly. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] elmicker They're opposed by the creator, as i said, they have no right to "authorise" anything. Once they've flogged a product to you, it's yours. You may not wish to get into a debate about the philosophy of this particular issue, but by putting things in terms of "authorisation", you've brought it up. If you don't want people to talk about mods of any type, say that. Don't predicate it with what you clearly consider to be fluff.[/quote][/quote] So basically obey the rules here (because that where you are) and be nice. Or don't obey and be punished is the bottom line and who care about what terminology it is explained in? I like it! [Edited on 01.25.2011 12:29 PM PST]
