mat_dizzy, benh, you both come off as a couple of gits.

FIRSTLY: ISO piracy hurts everyone, not just Sony.

Actually, piracy creates jobs (ie. those who try and stop it.)

Oh for bloody goodness sakes, the only thing worse than a thief is a liar who can't admit that he's a thief. Alright, it's not word-for-word, but it's darn close enough.

Here's the link to the official Sony page with largely the same info: http://www.us.playstation.com/PSP/Su...mUpdateHistory But, I suppose they stole it from you, huh? Either that or you expect us to believe that "your page" is Sony's official site...

I never said that there weren't people who benefit from it. What I said was "it hurts everyone", and it's true. Thievery, no matter what your justification, brings down society as a whole, and sooner or later it's going to catch up with you personally as well.

Besides, I work in a industry HEAVILY affected by piracy, and earn less than most of the kids here probably get in allowance. This is a VERY touchy subject for me, so please have the decency to take your cowardly excuses elsewhere, or better yet, not bring them up in the first place.

FIRSTLY: ISO piracy hurts everyone, not just Sony, so there's no good justification for it. If you think there is, not only are you an utter moron, but this site is not for you. Pro-ISO posts are heavily frowned upon, and if continued will cause you to be banned. If you feel like tempting this, then do everyone a favor, cut out the middle man, and just stop posting immediately.

i am a great fan of the psp and the comercial games released! And i love this site man! i love homebrew and emulation on my psp, but i am just saying that at the end of the day sony are no worse off.... they still have pleantly more people buying the games than illegally downloading iso's! but for the people who know i dont think it will harm!

as i said sony are a massive company making millions every week!

i dont run games illegaly myself, i buy them! and i want sony to keep making commercial games!

im for and against this matter, but onto the actuall topic

this information is handy and intresting but as some people said it takes up too much space on the home page! but the weird thing is i swear ive seen this info somewhere before

[benh]

alright I copyed it, as you said not word for word but i copyed it, and I dont normally copy stuff so I wouldt say I'm a theif

Sorry

mat_dizzy: That makes me feel good to know that you don't personally, pirate, but you shouldn't be making excuses, or attempting to add any bit of legitimacy to the pathetic excuses of those who do.

I'm not going to track down the links, because the news is so prevalent that you'd have to conciously try to ignore it NOT to see it, but, you're right, Sony does bring in millions each week. But they're also loosing millions each week. Togeather, that does not translate into making millions. They've posted massive loses for the past few consecutive years. Now, I'm not a Sony lover, and I think that, regardless of the thievery going on, they're largely to blame for the financial situation they're in, but that's still not even close to enough justification to wish them ill will.

And on to the specific issue of UMD piracy: Sony only takes a fraction of the profits from those sales. The people you are hurting the most are the specific developers of those games. Thanks to piracy, a game can be massively popular and entirely unproffitable at the same time, and not only does this mean dire financial situations for the devoted, talented developers, but it also means less quality, original, inspired software, because the people trying to develop it can't stay in business.

Even for extremely poor people, there's no excuse, so please don't try to argue it. The bottom line is that this site's piracy stance is firm, and you really should respect that.

benh: Thank you for fessing up. In the future, PLEASE just post your sources!!!!! This still could be a news item, but by merely posting the link you could've made it massively smaller.

[mat_dizzy]

still handy info though

[acn010]

oh lol.
please is pretty unfair if you copy from somewhere and give no credit for the one who did it.
benh next time give credit and show what site you found it, k man?

[benh]

sure
