Another question....hypothetical of course...but how would microsoft know it was a fake account? What if I used a legitimate address like my sisters in the states....i mean theoretically it would just mean that i registered my xbox in the states but moved to malaysia? Note: this applies to only a legitimate address.

When u logged on to the internet you're assigned a specific ip address kinda like a "postcode" and base on this "postcode' they'll know the country of origin. Try this! This are the reason u cant saw free TV shows broadcast online like from CBS, NBC a day after their showing on local US tv.

I dont think so. We get out IP address from ISP.
