OK then, Given that many people feel that the games are overpriced & that by using copied games etc they actually see no-one getting hurt they feel that it is a victimless crime & that its not as bad as say drink driving, so they have less qualms about doing it.

Myself I have 3 kids, each with thier own PSX, which I might have had to chip as I wasnt going to buy 3 copies of the games and they were too young to be able to handle the disks without getting them all scratched, so I might have copied the games for each of them. Now we have an Xbox the PSX is not used, so what to do with this?

Well as I use live I dont want to chip the Xbox as it may lead to me getting banned from live (a fate worse than death), however if we get another box thats standalone then I'd have no problems with chipping it.

Is that a long enough reply for you?
BTW, I have a high post count because I have been here since about when it started, posted a lot & joined in a lot of discussions, its quite rare for me to make a 2 word post.
