Subject: Computer Sabotage by Microsoft

Hello,

You misunderstand me completely beside the fact that you accuse me of
creating copies of games. I am the person who cracked the xbox open via
the font hack and I am not frustrated at all, because I can revert the
illegal changes of MS to MY hardware anytime. It is just that MS has
no fucking right to autoupdate my box. No matter if I am a LIVE customer
or not. They can terminate my license and pay me my money back if the
update is really needed, which it is not.

There is NOT a single word in the whole EULA and documentation of the XBOX
that it will not execute nonsigned software. I found a way to work around
this defect. Microsoft destroyed that way, they killed one of the features
(again... nowhere in the docu is written that this is NOT one of the features)
So I want my money back. I payed for a black box with specific features
the font hack was one of the features. If they kill this feature, they kill
my property and have to pay for it.

Yours,
Stefan Esser
