Yes. It is circumvention of a protection, and is thus illegal under the DMCA. Modding all of the Halo games has been illegal.

Ignorant. You own a video game console, you do not own copyrights, patents, and the like. It is illegal. The user has no right, at all, to reverse engineer the content and do whatever you want. That is not the way it works.

I'm glad one was finally released. I hope everyone will be smart with this tool. Is this resigner restricted in any way? I've been hearing that you can mod profiles, give yourself Recon, get yourself free points and gamerscores, I hope all that won't be possible. Anyone mind explaining?

All of that (not sure about recon) is possible and sadly will be abused.

In a way. I dont think anyone who wants to will figure out achievements any time soon. But as for modding any game save, yea people can.

Really? What if your xbox wasn't connected to xbox live? Wouldn't you just be manipulating your purchase therefore it being legal? You wouldn't be giving to anybody just keeping it for yourself, correct me if i'm mistaken...

Oh, I forgot how the laws say "As long as it's not on Xbox Live."
You are wrong. You cannot circumvent encryptions and protections on files, it is illegal whether it is on Live or not. That wouldn't even make sense if it was allowed offline. You do not own the copyrights, you do not own the right to do that. It is illegal.

Ah then my bad dude, i just thought that manipulating your purchase without distributing it was legal. My mistake.

You know, I had a thought. A tool that might be very interesting would be a program that could open Halo 3 maps (like that skinning app Prey made for H2) and view them, and be like a PC Forge editor. Be able to place objects in the air with ease and have definitive placement and rotation values. Don't know if that's possible...
