Sony and Nintendo Step Up Anti-Piracy Efforts

[wraggster]

Edge reports that Sony and Nintendo are both expanding their anti-piracy operations in an effort to reduce piracy rates on the PSP and the DS respectively. Nintendo has hired Neil Boyd, who handled anti-piracy operations for Warner Brothers, to help them demonstrate their "willingness to take action against criminals who are making money out of the infringement of games developers' copyright." Sony has taken a more direct approach, choosing to alter the hardware used in the PSP Go so that things like the Pandora battery can no longer be used to alter the firmware

- ive also heard that Nintendo are to target sites that have tools on their sites that aid piracy, should be interesting to see what comes of that ?

best thing would be that the flashcart sites would make an email list for flashcard owners and send them updates through that so if nintendo does block their sites, then they can still use the emails. same thing with rom sites.
