Homebrew a true utopian society?

[vettacossx]

Shadow is human. Sometimes his human side shows too clearly.

I think thats why I normaly get along with everyone in the forums. (normaly) I never lose touch with my roots and where I came from, Before I was moded.
I was a member in these forums just like you guys.
And in those days it was common for me to debate and rant. and even argue my points. When I became a mod, My hobby became more difficult. as I had to obay the proper standing on how a mod should represent himself while learning the in's and outs of the job. But ultimately nothing that has ever happend to me or will happen, will ever take away who I am, Im a proud member of dcemu. Mod or member. it doesnt matter to me. I am who I am.
And I love this scene. And as far as quiting goes, that will never happen. People say things when there up for over 34 hours and talking out of there head, And a few nay sayers kicking and screaming because they cant have illegal software piracy doesnt help..
And yeah, even us mods get offended and have a bad day at times. remember We have a certain image to uphold, But that doesn mean where not human..

Most people just use "homebrew" as their cute little code word for piracy...

"I'll never give up my 1.5 psp because of homebrew"

Yeah, sure.

Anyway, just deal with it...talking about it here EVERY DAY will not make people change their minds.

No, people use the word "homebrew" for homebrew.

Its not at all like that, Ive been gone for a while because my brother has moved in. I havnt had a lot of time to do my normal job. I'll pop in sometimes late at night and write an atricle, something anything to contribute
But I havnt had much time on my hands at all lately Things will slowly get back to normal here, But its a very long unexplainible situation, as to why my brother moveing in cuts into my forum time, But believe me bro, everything is fine with your mods, Keep modding and ill keep posting them em bro , just like always

I think there's something wrong in what you say, and it is that homebrew/open source can't be stopped. that's it, exactly how it sounds.

it doesn't matter if it is legal or not. it's just too big for anyone to stop it.

of course, they can make it difficult. let's say...don't let homebrew run on their hardware. oh! they've already done it! and they failed...

Completely agree. I think you're blowing this way out of proportion.

I don't believe that illegal code in one app will damage the entire scene. What effect would it have on other legitimate code? None. If other legit homebrew came under scrutiny from companies they would have nothing to worry about.

They can't stop open source coding.

i cant....heres why....some sprites ive used were not original sprites and APPARENTLY no one can explain to me the " fine line" that sepperates fanbrew wich i thought i was doing untill today when pspdemon decided to do all original....it made me think....AM I DOING SOMTHING WRONG even though i hand made the sprites for my SMM and SMW mods.....i used MODIFIED RIPPED DBZ sprites for my turrican....AM I LEGAL....HOW DO I KNOW??

[Xiaopang]

AM I LEGAL....HOW DO I KNOW??

by getting a lawyer...seriously...technically you are using copyrighted material. still, depending on your country you might be allowed to use original work to parody it without having to pay licence fees. thats why any so called legal-illegal discussion is so obsolete. only a lawyer knows for sure and even then i wouldn't bet on a definite answer, because as far as i know, there was never a trial regarding this, just to assure your legal status.

BUT the more important question you should ask is: do companies care? everyone who ever meddled with the anti-piracy taskforces of those corporations will tell you: no they don't. why? because you don't sell it and the number of users are far too low to affect anything. besides, if they did, they could also take legal actions against fanart as that is a ripoff of original artwork, too. in fact they have bigger cases to rest, such as corporate piracy.

so there's no reason to panic

You can look at it both ways, people should not use copied games on thier psps.

But should psp game really be up for £35? I mean £35, how many GTAs were sold last year? Thousands, you do the maths.

How much does it cost to make a UMD disc? Not alot, I bought GTA from play.com and in the jiffy bag was a demo of loco roco for free!

If Sony dropped the prices a bit then i'm sure more games would be bought.

It's all about the money, if the prices were dropped a bit then I certain they would have more!

But PSP ISO talk here should be banned, it's a current product unlike the likes of PSX nad neogeocd.

My psp is used mainly for games gone by and the UMDs I play, I bought, 4 of 'em
