Tbh, I'm not against this move as long as it's completely sure it has been modified so you can play illegally gotten games. I wouldn't compare it to the removal of DRM on ebooks so you can read it on other devices you might own.
LIVE is where you download demos and play multiplayer games.

Also it isnt always certain its been modded for playing pirate materials, eg it could have been 'modded' or opened to replace a noisy fan out of warranty or taken to a non authorised repair center. That could still lead to a ban.

some cynical people have implied that this basically means an increase in sales of approximately 600,000 Xboxes for christmas.

oh and of course any innocent party buying second hand may find they have a faulty machine with no way of knowing!
