My understanding, though, is that it doesn't matter WHY you're circumventing the controls that stop you from booting anything else on the XBox; just that you are circumventing them. An unlicensed DVD player without a "rip" or "copy" option is still illegal here because it has to bypass the market-protection mechanisms of the MPAA, even though it can't actually be used for copyright infringement.
