PSIX Feature List Released

[bobnickelson]

are you so naive at this point ?!!!, if this stuff attract sony for a lawsuit, it will be the beginning of some pressure for many programmers as fanjitas. Take recently the ms driller clone, it's free homebrew but Nintendo would attend a lawsuit for an attempt to the copyright.

ms. driller clone is different though, it's a clone of something that has already been copyrighted. i don't know to much of Psix though, but i don't see how he could get sued.. but i bet if sony really wanted to they would whip up something

I personally believe that homebrew should be a free endeavor. For instance, what is stopping a game company, who hasn't acquired all of Sony's licenses to produce and sell PSP games from using legal reverse engineering practices that has produced the PSP SDK and the wealth of knowledge that we have about PSP homebrew coding, to make homebrew games and then sell for profits?

That would certainly give Sony more initiative to strike down homebrew in my opinion.

However, would I pay for PSix if it was good enough? Sure I would. But I'd rather see developers cover their tracks with the practice, "Donators get better features from our homebrew!" for instance. Such a practice would really eliminate Sony's ambitions of bringing down homebrew from a legal standpoint (since, technically, its a charity, that offers the benefit of a more functional program. Similar to PBS donations being awarded with 'prizes' depending on the amount of the donation).

Pay for homebrew directly? No. Donate for better featured homebrew? Certainly.

Lol, Fluff's a f.ucktard and has no rights what-so-ever to be called or be part of the so said fake "psp-scene"

If you were any true scener you f.ucking ass-wipe should know that the number #1 rule for all rls Pc/movies/console/etc is to NOT sell products... If you dont follow this very simple rule then you are demned to be banned from all topsites and be laughed/hated by all real groups.. noob...

People like Fluff and other f.ucktards are the reason why Humma and other true old time skeners quitted...

And also ur lil app only works for 1.5 which is not the majority of the users... think about all the lil kiddies who will complain once they discover ur $#@!ty app doesn't load on their psp..

Keep it free or get out!

[theelise]

I have to agree again. Dam.. Why has this got my back up so much.

[alepus]

Wraggster, once again you fail to help the scene at all

Did you post about the PDR project on Naoneo? No..do you even know what that is? If you don't, then I suggest you look on the site!
Wraggster, please, spare us your news posts that flame our good developers, there is a FREE VERSION!!! SO STOP COMPLAINING

i agree 100% with you. i could download the free version if i wanted but i will pay and support fluff in this one.

learn to appreciáte things..

I produce music (currently for free, independently...)

I've been a member of the music community SectionZ.com...

I've also been selected to become part of SectionZ Records, a new iTunes label based off of some of the top producers on the site...

Now, I've been producing music for about 4 years. In that time I went from very amatuer to near-pro (mind you, I have extremely limited resources). I will not spend my hard-earned money (which is really intended for paying for school, food, gas, insurance, rent etc.) on music equipment if I don't have a prospective for making money with the music as well.

Music, as programming, is a time committment, and the work that these devs (fluff, fanjita, Iris team, etc.) is EXTREMELY time-consuming and difficult. If you no-talent lamers that simply consume other people's work all day think that it's our responsibility to provide you code, music, art, etc~ for free, you're nuts!

If you do contribute your own work for free in some way, and still expect everybody else to follow your example, just be glad that you can be providing to others. Nobody is OBLIGATED to do as you do. The good (if you could call it that) is not necessarily the law.

The other day I just made a comment about the 2.60 EBOOT loader news that I think Fanjita should get paid a salary by all rights. It's grand that he doesn't charge for his work, but he very well could if he wanted to.

EDIT: I just thought of something else. This is the only instance in which I would not support a pay-version of psix:

Does PSIX contain any open-source code? While you can sell derivitive works based off of open-source code, the resulting code MUST also be open-source (so source must be distributed with the paid binaries). That means that someone else can pay for PSIX with the source, then distribute the source themselves for free, as long as that also is released under the original license. In other words, it would be pointless to charge for open-source software, even though it's OK to do so.

If PSIX does contain open-source code, there must be considerations made of that.

I think if someone takes the time to make something thats worth paying for (like this) they should be able to charge for it. However, I think it should be like a donation, where you pick how much to donate, and he sets a minumium

Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 22
Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.

Article 27
1.- Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
2.- Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author.


I understand music as culture, don't you?? I mean, of course you have all the rights to make money with music, but I don't think it's fair to restrict culture to anybody. You can make money with concerts, recitals, selling records, ... whatever you want, but why not share that music at the time with everybody??

Not everything is copyrighted in this world: http://creativecommons.org/

About homebrew I feel nearly the same, homebrew is a way for everybody to learn, of course there is people that just sees this world as free software (free as in free beer), but a lot of us see the homebrew as a way to learn and share peoples knowledge with each other.

That's the reason why I don't want to pay for psix, I don't think that it's source will be released, so I won't learn anything from it. Just fun, is not my way with homebrew. Official games do that work much better
