Pirates or not. I have two three 360's in my house and my brother continues to take my copy of COD to play on his 360. I'd say sometimes making back up disks is just practical.

Burning a copy of a game he already owns would be more along the lines of a Seamstress making a imitation Chenille bag for her own personal use based on one she already bought.

EPIC WIN!]]>Aug 15th 2010 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/Plenty of people have been flashing their drives with the new firmware since the last major ban wave (when a bunch of people were banned w/ MW2). Microsoft will always retaliate, but that's obviously not stopping people. Regardless, if you don't have the money to pay for a new Xbox when you DO get banned, then you shouldn't do it anyway.]]>Aug 15th 2010 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/
*sigh* I hope the next gen will have a more open application infrastructure now that "app stores" are popular with phones; then again, knowing Microsoft they probably won't be very open (XNA is not open).]]>Aug 16th 2010 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/Aug 15th 2010 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/15/new-xbox-360-hacked-to-play-backup-discs-public-release-under/

It would be sweet if they came up with like a master disc for this hack.
Though I don't want it to be like games on demand where I don't own a physical copy that I can resell or loan out to someone. Also I don't want to do this hack because I like playing on Live.
