XBL anti-piracy update is affecting legit gamers - console
(hx) 02:45 PM CET - Nov,19 2011 - Post a comment / read (3)
Microsoft updated the security challenge tables that catch out pirated discs. While this is good in the fight against piracy, once again legitimate users are experiencing issues. Over on the official Xbox forums, there have been numerous reports of unsupported disc or dirty disc issues (specifically with Modern Warfare 3) due to this silent update, even with legitimate store-bought copies of the game.

This is due to a file called 'dae.bin' being silently updated across all Xbox LIVE connected consoles. The file, which is stored in the NAND and inaccessible to end-users, contains a set of anti-piracy verification challenges that check a certain security sector on the Xbox game disc. Burned discs cannot properly replicate the security sector of an original disc, which contains all the correct responses to these challenges. As such they only contain one or two challenges that match the current dae.bin in the firmware. When Microsoft updates the dae.bin silently, all pirated discs return a dirty/unsupported disc error as the responses on the disc do not match the challenges sent; whereas all legitimate official discs are supposed to contain all the responses and thus still work. The updated dae.bin only affects newer games with the newer anti-piracy measures encoded into the game disc. Modern Warfare 3 is one of these new games that use the updated dae.bin, and it appears that Microsoft in their efforts to combat piracy have not fully ensured that the challenges work on all legitimate game discs.
My Xbox DO NOT RUN ONLY MW3, my other games run with no problem (tested 20 until today), when try to read the disc some times says Error Reading Disc Code: 03-80-00 or Disc Not Recoignized. My copy of MW3 was exchanged on the store and again my Xbox can´t read the game, tested the disc on a friend Xbox and it run with no problems, tried the copy of my friend on my Xbox and the same errors again. Tried 3 discs and my Xbox can´t read them. What's going on Microsoft????!!!!!!

While its actually bad in the right for consumer freedom against corporate legal fascism.

If only people stopped pirating and didn't buy the shit either, see where that goes :)

People do not know that it's shit without buying it (you can't trust demos these days).

DRM has always caused more problems than solved as history has shown.
