Blocking book increases presales

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Engineer Andrew "Bunnie" Huang has led The Register that his soon to be self published book "Hacking the Xbox: an Introduction to Reverse Engineering," has pre sold between 400-500 copies just a little more than two weeks before its scheduled May 27th publication date. Huang has gone the route of self pushing because he has found it impossible to find any publisher willing to take the book on due to it's rumored thin line of legality. The book covers all forms of hacking the XBox, and for a long time Huang and others have guessed it has been Microsoft's interference that has caused the publishing issues that Huang has been experiencing, though no proof is available. The book also raises fears of DMCA lawsuits, which could quickly be forthcoming once the book is released. .
