I'm sure computer sabotage is not legal in any european country. But then again, I wouldn't call what Microsoft did an act of computer sabotage. The fine print of the XBOX live connection will tell you exactly what Microsoft is allowed to do when you connect. -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Esser [mailto:s.esser () e-matters de] Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 2:31 PM To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Cc: bugtraq () securityfocus com Subject: [Full-disclosure] Computer Sabotage by Microsoft Hi, well it finally happened. I came back home after work, connected my XBOX to the internet and went into the XBOX-Live menu configuration. Well what happened. The XBOX started automaticly downloading the new crappy XBOX-Live dashboard, which is of course fixed. This is IMHO an act of computer sabotage. I have never allowed MS to modify my dashboard or to auto update my dashboard. Is any lawyer on the list who can point me to the right paragraphs? I do not believe this computer sabotage is legal in any european country.
