Dummy accounts for the chop?

[Quote]

It didn't take gamers long to figure out they didn't have to live in a
certain country to get access to that country's content. Xbox Live users
could simply set up a dummy Xbox Live account, put in a false address
from abroad, and download what regional agreements said they couldn't.

That loophole may not be exploitable for too long. Soon, according to
Xbox-Archiv, Microsoft will begin policing Xbox Live accounts and
deleting "dummy" accounts. The reason stems largely from the recent
addition of on-demand video content to Xbox Live and the multitude of
regional restrictions movies and televisions have.

It was only a matter of time. There are complications when dealing with
content downloadable from another country. Somebody could be downloading
something which is illegal in their own country. Plus I guess there are
licensing issues.
