Re: Logo Verification... Um... what?

I imagine that the reason MS has us authorize the logo each time we load it up is because they want to be able "unauthorize" logos that had been previously authorized. Let's say you download a team today and play a game, logo auth. went OK. But let's imagine that a week from now, someone flags that same exact logo and it is deemed offensive. Now, when you load up your team and attempt to authorize the logo that is already sitting on your hard drive, it will call it offensive and it won't authorize it. Call it "retro authorization". This way, they can keep track of everyhing.

Imagine that today, coffee drinking is made illegal. Tomorrow, the cops come in, without warrant, and seize and destroy the coffee you have in your own personal refrigerator. That is what is going on here, in a nutshell.

Gotta hand it to MS; they came up with an ingenious way of snooping on you and controlling your use of logos on your own private console.

This hacks me off the more I think about it.
