Just as in order to drive a car you must give up your legal right to be over 0.05 PCA at that time.(at least here in Australia) Is that the government trying to take away your legal right to get drunk? No. You can get drunk any time you wish. You simply must then accept the consequence of not being allowed to drive.

MS is not denying you any legal right. You own the Xbox and can mod it if you so choose. MS owns the live "service" for which they have a set of rules you must abide by if you wish to use.
