PSN Store DRM Cracked!

Hmm ive reposted this as i didnt fully take notice of the original news item, seems some hackers have cracked the protection on the PSN Store, this will lead to more piracy which will do yet more damage to the PSP Scene, i also advise all decent PSP News Sites to steer clear of this because you can bet Sony will clamp down massively on those who do post any files.

Remember that piracy hurts the PSP Scene. Custom Firmwares are one thing but this is pure piracy

Well that sucks for Sony. Unfortunately they have already put users in a position of being able to "pirate" PSN games; simply login as your account on your friend's PS3 and redownload games you purchased to their PS3; there's apparently nothing stopping them from doing that, and supposedly we get 5 downloads per item before having to repurchase it...

It can be activated on 5 systems, and the 5 systems can redownload asmany times as they wish.

Very easy to do.

Thats not piracy. That is intent by sony. They wanted people to be able to go to a friends house and be able to download the software again to play on a friends ps3/psp with out the need of bringing along a ps3.

It also extends to ps1 games since you can install it on your ps3 and psp systems with only 1 purchase.

Im not really one to recommend censorship, but is it a good idea to advertise such abilities.

I understand this is indirect, but this article provides access to information without any legal uses.

What's worth stealing on the PSN store anyway? I just don't see the point.

Pirates are pissing me off to a point that I'll have to stop being a pirate myself.

Ha there is no point to this really.
Every iso in the psn is already in torrents.
and there are alot more iso's available though torrents then there are on the psn.

pointless.
