HLS consists of multipe federal agencies. This started after 9/11 so that the feds could be in better cooperation with each other's departments. That said, piracy costs businesses potentially billions of dollars. With that revunue lost so does all those taxes to the government, and Uncle Sam isn't about to let that happen. I can't see how the DMCA would make mod chips illegal. Just because something has the potential of being used illegally doesn't necessarily or constitutionally make a blanket ban on such devices. If the government can prove such that they were used in the manufacturing of pirated discs and the parties made a profit off the discs, than they would have a case. Just selling mod chips or modded consoles I don't believe would be illegal. If The Digital Millenium Act so made such devices illegal and that law was challenged in court, I would believe it would be considered unconstitutional.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
