That's not a far different statement--see my response to your hyperbole. I've said all along I think companies--within reason--can put restrictions on the usage of their products and enforce them by voiding warranties, banning access to the companies online network etc.
To the second point, honestly, I think the other side effects are mostly myth or isolated incidents. Maybe not the media center extender as perhaps being banned from Live disables all the online access since that media center is tied to your Live Account/ Windows Live ID, so that might not work if you can't log into live.
The save corruption etc. I've not heard much about so those may just be some isolated glitches. Or stuff targeted at people who had used mods to cheat, as a way to delete saved games that enabled cheating etc.
