The point im trying to make is, people are trying to turn the psp into somthing its not. No matter how much space you get for it. Its still only got 333 mhz processor in it. Its never going to get any more powerful.
If you want somthing that can do all the applications people want to do with the psp. Id suggest getting a note pad computer, somthing with a little more power.
And yes mp3 have been around for quite a while and they where already well know in the 333 mhz era.

And yes you can compare todays technology to yesterdays technology eslecaly when the power is exactly the same as it was back then.

And dvds have been around for a while too. Why is it people only concder the dvd as being made at the point they became affordible

and yeah your pirateing bro, did you even read my post ?

if you copy somthing even if you own the orig, Its piracy . (COPY RIGHT LAWS ) there made for a reason. pece out

333MHz is plenty of space to do nice things like run a word processor or an address book. I know my old 333MHz PC was great for more than just pong.

4GB of space is great for holding tons of vids. That same 333MHz gets me DVD quality vids man.

So, you're telling me that even if I buy 20 copies of the same movie on DVD, I can be fined for transferring one of them to my MS Duo? I don't think so. You are legally allowed to have a backup copy of your DVDs and CDs.

Your not legaly allowed to copy copy righted meterial.
Even if you buy hundreds of copys.
Each copy you buy is copy right protected.
meaning you dont reserve the right to copy the meterial even for back up use.
The back up clause is somthing that sounds nice for people to say in there own defence of priacy. But its not a legit clause. Read up on copy rights somtime.
Even if you bought one million copys of a copy righted media. You do not magicly attain the right to copy it yourself for any reason. Includeing backup copys.

Try this. buy one hundred copys of windows xp and then copy just one of them.. Get cought and see how lightly they look upon that.

Just because the media isnt as important or useful as somthing like windows
doesnt mean they wont enforce those laws with just as stiff a penalty.

When you buy a copy of a media that is copy right protected, you have bough that copy and that copy alone, To use only in its origenal format. You havnt purchased any rights to copy it for yourself in any form in any way.

There are provisions in the copyright laws in the US that allow a person to make 1 backup copy of any CD and DVD. Companies put copyright protections on their products to thwart piracy, but it is perfectly legal for a person to make a backup of CD and DVD.

And your example of copyright protections = illegal to copy doesn't work for windows XP. No operating system can contain copyright protections because they won't be able to boot the computer to install said operating system.

And copying a CD or DVD only becomes illegal if you give that copy to someone else. As I said, it is perfectly legal to a make backup copy.

And I seriously think you are underestimating the power of the PSP. AMD has proven time and again, that MHZ means nothing. The PSP has alot more power than the iPod, than a PDA, etc.

Even with a 333mhz processor the PSP does what it was meant to do very well. Having a huge memstick or if somehow someone cracks the USB to allow the use of a USB hard-drive doesn't mean that we should start saying the PSP is weak because it has a 333mhz processor.

The iPod is 1/4 the size of the PSP and has 15 times more space.

That I thought that much space for a psp was completely unnecessary.
Somhow it evolved into the umd market. and on to copy right laws.
(Im not some bible thumping poindexter that follows every rule just because some lable tells me its a no no).Ive copied things myself.
All im saying its its wrong to copy a dvd/ movie for any reason.
Because thats the rules for copy right laws.
Im not saying I follow them.
But just because I dont and the rest of the world doesnt, doesnt mean i can say its right and okay to copy, Because its simply not
I dont even follow what your saying about windows xp.
Its illegal to copy windows xp outside of its origenal intent.
TO INSTALL IT, is its perfectly natural method of operation. Its ment to be installed. Installing windows and copying windows is defferent. Now come on surely we cant get any wires crossed there

And you cant say they cant copy right windows, that $#@! is protected with more laws then our soldiers over seas right now

sadly

To make a backup copy IS ILLEGAL. im not sure where people got this idea that it was okay, but ive heard it from a lot of people. But its simply not okay to copy copy righted media in any form
