Westerners who have obtained the Resident Evil 5 demo may have noticed that, regardless of whether you got the demo legally or illegally, you will no longer be able to access the online co-op part of the demo.
Capcom are now kicking off any non-Japanese gamers that try to access the demo's online mode.

We just discovered that MS might be using some sort of Xbox 360 IP identification to disconnect non-Japanese gamers from Xbox Live as soon as the Resident Evil 5 demo is loaded.

No matter how you "illegally" obtained the demo (Japanese accounts or torrent downloads), if you don't live in Japan, you'll be booted off Live. While the demo is still playable offline, your dreams of RE5 Live co-op have been infected with an incurable virus.
