Actually it's mostly just consoles with modified drive firmware that are targeted, something which is largely used to play copied discs since it doesn't help with the unsigned code problem needed for homebrew and the likes.
There might be a few people playing backup copies of their own games but I'd bet it's mostly people playing downloaded games that have been caught.
There aren't really modchips as such on the 360, at least not in the same way the earlier consoles had them. I've a modded xbox original consoles which has served me very well for years as a media player, I'm only replacing it because it can't handle HD though I'll still be running the same software(XBMC).
I'd like to think the best of people but the mod state of the 360 means that the vast majority of those caught will have been using it for copied games. There are a few hacks to get code running but nothing hugely usable yet. Not that it particularly fusses me, just pointing out the facts.
