Idea to end UMD piracy

[Broonale]

I have an idea that I think would end UMD piracy on the PSP for all new discs regardless of firmware or mobo.

I am just not sure how to market it.

Any idea who I should contact and protect it?

Contact your local patenting office.

If it is a real idea that will actually prevent umd piracy. He should patten it first then sell it to Sony. Sony is know for using things that don't belong to them and profiting from it. Hell they just lost a 300 million dollar lawsuit appeal for there psp and a bunch of cameras.

I would trust Macrovision more than Sony!

So just go for it

Not really if he owns the original? ;P

I'm cheap. Plus the money I don't spend on PSP games I spend at local stores that actually need money. Even if PSP isos weren't around I'd probably still not buy PSP games, I'd just rely on hombrew only.

Just my 2 cents.

Haha. If we are just talking about the gaming division, that statement is the COMPLETE opposite of what is actually happening. They lose money on each system (epsecially on the PS3 when it is released) that it is the only division in the company that makes a loss each year.

what are u saying?

[Nafogel]

companies generally dont make money off of the initial system, mainly because of marketing and advertising costs, and the cost of making the system. the real money comes in software sales. thats why game piracy is such a bad thing.
