Right Hi everyone first off

About the downgraders.......I've managed to get a few PSP owners to send e-mails to Sony about they're PSP's "locking up" after updating to version 2.00 and asking if they can get it back to version 1.00 somehow. This might be hopeless attempt but I thought it would be worth a try for an official downgrader. So if it sounds like a possibility to you please join in.

Do you really think they don't know for it?
The wab site is down (since 10 minutes) , hack? server problem or sony ?

Sony will always keep an eye on the homebrew and hacking scene, not because of stupid letters. I don't think Sony have shut down WAB's site. They haven't released anything illegal. Or have they?

well they could have reason to, if wab took the 1.5 firmware they released and started editing it a whole bunch and release it later...that might be a bit illegal, but im sure its just server issues

Sony does know about WAB, homebrew, downgrading and etc. indeed.
I believe what WAB does is illegal but Sony is not suing them because they find holes in the system. Even if they release downgrader (wich Sony knows about), the company can't do anything since the firmware has already been released. In next wone these holes will be fixed. If you stick with 1.50 - you are a Fonzie. And how is Fonzie like - he's cool.

I told you it's about choice, you can never have the full power of PSP because of Sony's policy.

Excuse me. What is illegal about downgrading a PSP? Sony never made me sign an end user agreement saying that I would not downgrae my unit or try to keep it in a primitive state. It's the users PSP and they are legally entitled to use any version they want. It only becomes illegal when they do this for piracy's sake (loading ISOs of the MS, etc). However for homebrew purposes, Sony can not prove that downgrading is unlawfull.
Not even ISO loaders themselfs are illegal, just the common usage of them. If you were cool, you would dump your own ISOs and play them off the memory stick, even after editing them first. (editing an ISO and playing it yourself is legal as well, you paid for it, you own the full version, and you are distributing nothing). Think usage.
