When Is A Custom Controller Illegal To Sell?


If you are browsing eBay, and see a listing that explicitly states that you are buying a custom Xbox controller, not affiliated with Microsoft in any way, when does it become an illegal listing?
1. When the controller was repainted with original art that is not licensed.
2. When the controller was modded for rapid fire.
3. When the controller had a copyrighted logo painted as part of the art.
4. When the controller had modifications to the hardware itself (led, custom thumb sticks, etc.)
If there is anywhere that I can see in print what makes a custom controller ‘illegal for sale’ it would be a huge help, but searching has been no help this far.
Thanks!

I don’t understand how this generation, with the entire musical universe a mouse-click away, seems so lost and clueless when it comes to finding good, substantial, meaningful, exciting rock (or other) music.
Music never gets better or worse; it is part of a continuum that goesback thousands of years. Radio and TV has gotten worse, thanks to the same handful of companiesowning all media outlets.
But for those who keep whining there’s no good music out there…you’re only busy missing it.

Why Is It That When Republicans Advocate Torture, They Always Mention Water-boarding But Never Mention More?


extreme forms of torture. Torture is a progressive act. What starts with water-boarding will lead to other methods.
B Question: for Conservatives – which of the following methods do you feel are acceptable for extracting information from suspects: (Keep in mind these methods may also be applied to White Christian Americans who are affiliated with Right Wing Ultra-Nationalist groups or the Tea Party)
1. Flaying and cauterization: slits are cut in the skin, then large patches of skin are peeled off with a pliers. Wounds are cauterized with a blow-torch to prevent the victim from bleeding out.
2. Genital mutilation – removal: The victims genitals are tied tightly with a cord – constricting blood supply and causing the genitals to eventually necrotize and fall off. Antibiotics are used to prevent infection from causing gangrene and death.
3. Family and child rape: The torture victim is bound to a chair so they cannot move. The victim’s spouse and/or children are gang-raped in front of the person being tortured. After the gang-rapes are completed the spouse and children are sometimes beaten to death and their corpses mutilated.
Live by the gun, die by the gun. Violence always leads to greater violence. Anyone who claims there is a line that they’ll never cross is a liar.
These tactics have all been used by fringe rebel groups in third world nations – including some Ultra-Right Christian Groups like the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda. Of methods 1 through 3 which ones are acceptable to a modern Republican?
