No better way to invite unwanted attention

XBMC has to be the front runner for the "Most likely to be sued" and "Most likely to get users sued" since it requires pirated Microsoft tools and illegal chipping to run on the XBox. With Microsoft sponsoring the event you have to wonder why anyone involved with, or using, XBMC would bring this sort of attention to themselves.

As far as XBMC appearing to get so many nominations, for what is otherwise a pretty low rated application, you have to suspect they stuffed the ballot box. Or given what I just noted, maybe someone really doesn't like the project very much?
