Not to add gasoline to the fire, but I dont think you can 
characterize what MCE is doing as "theft".  MCE is offering a service 
that no one else has.  As much as I love to HW hack and learn how 
things work, $100 for the activation isnt  unreasonable.

At the same time, I think that the people who posted the details of 
the mod should be congratulated for good sleuthing skills.
