From what I can tell, its pretty much stealing.

Well man, I guess you're violating the terms of service; they have every right to ban you.

It's their rules. And this isn't lending a game, it's using the system to get others free copies of DLC, which is pretty much just like piracy. Something that is supposed to be used by one person is used by two or more at the same time.

Whether this is morally right or wrong is all opinions, so don't try to come and tell me I'm wrong.

My point is the whole concept of DLC & their restrictions is gimped and flawed to begin with. People try to do what they've always done with their games, but suddenly now they're breaking rules. They can't loan their game to a friend without committing piracy. That's lame. That's my point. They shouldn't call it "purchasing DLC." They should call it what it is: "Paying for a long term rental of a game with lots of restrictions." Of course, that's not good marketing, is it?

By the way, since when is morality & right & wrong a matter of opinion? I say your assessment of the situation is wrong.

Yeah. I said it. You're wrong!

Sure if you were loaning that wouldn't be a problem. Fact is you aren't loaning you are COPYING. You still keep your copy and you give a copy to someone else.

I know. That's what I said.

"They can't loan their game to a friend without committing piracy."
That's one of many things that makes DLC so lame. You can't loan it to a friend.

Well with the 360 you technically can. Either by recovering your tag on their system or by bringing you HDD to thier house. It would just leave you with nothing though.
