Microsoft Targeting Pirates With Xbox 360 Spring Dashboard Update
Piracy has long been a problem on Microsoft’s console, with the company taking a much more proactive approach to the issue by initiating the AP 2.5 protocol into specific games. This AP 2.5 protection alongside the new firmware could strike a death blow to piracy on the console.

CrazySniper61 Does this mean if my xbox is flashed that i will get banned
You will probably get banned, and you wont even be able to use your disc drive to play offline games. I advise you to buy a new disc drive, or flsh it back to the original firmware - if that's possible.

iLewis Just lower the piece of games, then pirating wont happen!!
Piracy will always happen, take music for example. I think 99 cents for 1 song is pretty decent to be honest. But people still download them illegally, why?
Because they don't want to pay at all, thats what piracy is.

"holds something that software pirates may not have been expecting."
Everyone knew this was included in the update.
Bring on the workaround.

$60 for a game is a lot of money, to whoever said they are cheap, while I'm glad you're made of money I tend to disagree with your observation.
