[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] elmicker [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos No, I'm arguing that the legal definition of authorize isn't relevant. You are the one that is attempting to confuse the issue by applying a overly simplified legal definition.[/quote]This isn't overly simplified, nor is it a "legal definition" (as if that would make it any less relevant). [quote]Authorize To authorize a thing. -To set up as authoritative; to acknowledge as possessing final decisiveness -To give legal force to; to make legally valid. -To vouch for the truth or reality of; to confirm by one's authority. [OED2][/quote] Authorise, by its very meaning, implies authority, legal or otherwise. That authority is non-existant in all cases the rule applies to. That authority lies solely with the end user. You are implementing the rule in the hope that your audience will take it to mean something it actually doesn't, knowing full well this is the case. What's the point of rewriting the rules for clarity when you're leaving such nonsense as this in?[/quote] 90% of the users here will think that something within the boundaries of the real world laws will take effect thus pushing them away from the whole topic of discussion here. If serious enough Bungie and or Microsoft do have the right to obtain your legal information and press charges if you tamper, distribute, corrupt or alter products or information, just like any company. It is there property and they have the authority over it and can allow certain parties to alter or modify in regards and allowances of Bungie or Microsoft. How is it so hard to interpret that? If you don't have permission don't bother tampering or modifying. Use common sense and logic. Paint your xbox with what ever color you want, just don't patch the software so you have an unlimited DRM automatic rocket launcher, with out Bungie or Microsoft's permission.
