Recently, we became aware of the unauthorized distribution of our proprietary XboxHD+ firmware on Archive.org, along with guides to bypass the security features of our hardware. This firmware is part of our active product lines, including both Stellar XboxHD+ and non-Stellar XboxHD+ kits, which are currently available for purchase.
In response to this unauthorized distribution, we exercised our rights under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Working in collaboration with Archive.org, we ensured the removal of the content. Additionally, we requested other websites hosting this information to remove it.
We wish to express our deep disappointment with these events. The XboxHD+ firmware represents a significant investment in research, development, and innovation. It is crucial for us to protect our intellectual property, especially for products that are still actively sold and supported by our company.
However, we understand and respect the concerns raised by the community regarding the use of DMCA in this situation. Our intention is never to hinder creativity or community engagement. We greatly value the enthusiasm and support of our user community and realize that our necessary actions might have caused concern among our loyal users.
To address this, we are reviewing our policies and procedures to ensure they align with both our legal obligations and our commitment to our values and respect for the community's perspective.
We appreciate your understanding and your continued support of the XboxHD+ product line.
