well, if this really is illigal and they don't have any fine print (which I cant find any) then anyone who got banned because of HD serials would be able to sue MS for not respecting their privacy.
yes but you are missing a little point if you buy a new HD then you have another SN and when you put this HD in a Xbox thats already bin on xbox live then the xbox live wil ban you,He can see you have changed from HD.
I am still half noob but i think this is right.

I believe people may have a point that if MS is invading your privacy without permission from the ULA then it is also in breach of the Data Protection Act for accessing data they have no right to. To be honest they would only be sued once though before nobody would be able to log onto Xbox Live again without agreeing to a new ULA that gave them more power. I think its probably better to leave them doing what they are at the moment while people still have a way round.
I just read through the entire EULA and didn't see anything limiting what they would and would not scan on the xbox. Here is the only relavant section I could find respecting this issue.
Notice (b)...
So, if the xbox is set to send hardware information to access the Service, then there is no issue here.
Code:
10. SERVICE OPERATION AND EQUIPMENT
....
Microsoft reserves complete and sole discretion with respect to the operation of the Service. Microsoft may, among other things: (a) restrict or limit access to the Service; (b) retrieve information from the Xbox used to log onto the Service as necessary to operate and protect the security of the Service, and to enforce this Agreement; and ...So, if the xbox is set to send hardware information to access the Service, then there is no issue here.
How can banning people who just upgrade their hard drive to hold more music "protect the security of the Service". That would only qualify to people who are trying to be destructive cheating or hacking somehow.
if they dont know what is on your harddrive they can view it as a malicious attempt to cheat no matter what is on your harddrive.
