yeah u can play pirated games on LAN and you cannot play pirated games on XBOX LIVE .............I did not know that they even messed with the firmware to allow it to play pirated stuff....

Just recently i saw a site hosting pirated games for Sony PSP[play station portable] ....They manage to crack everything !

Pirated versions Farcry 2 and Fallout 3 have been released for XBOX 360. It seems PC alone can't be blamed for piracy.

Not only these but many others hav been released, but all these won't work on a genuine non flashed xbox... thats the point.
On the other hand pirated games work like a charm on PC.

Copy protection like cd-checks and other DRM doesn't discourage piracy!
My opinion is if you make a good product and price it reasonably then people will be willing to pay for it.
Take the case of game publisher/developer Stardock, their games don't have any kind of copy protection but still lots of people buy their games and as a company they are successful.

Some interesting reading is the Gamers Bill of Rights put out by Stardock:

Quote:

Gamers shall have the right to return games that are incompatible or do not function at a reasonable level of performance for a full refund within a reasonable amount of time.

Gamers shall have the right to have their games perform adequately if their hardware meets the posted recommended requirements.
Gamers shall have the right not to have any of their games install hidden drivers.
Gamers shall have the right to re-download the latest version of the games they purchase.
Gamers whose computers meet the posted minimum requirements shall have the right to use their games without being materially inconvenienced due to copy protection or digital rights management.
Gamers shall have the right to play single player games without having to have an Internet connection.
