Thanks for the suggestion, sorry you can't handle a conversation with someone who disagrees with you.

If groups of people are providing copyrighted software for download, and other people are suggesting where to go to get it, what would you call that, if it isn't piracy ?

I would think a PSP owner who buys his/her games, wouldn't appreciate organizations who's intent is to make developing games for the PSP less profitable ?

I can handle conversations with people who don't agree with me just fine. It's the bloody fvcking morons like you that make the weirdest connections like AT is a piracy forum because it reports breakthrough news in the tech industry that I can't handle. This is way bigger than some kid wanting a videogame that mommy and daddy won't buy him. The PSP has HUGE potential that Sony's not even expounding on. You realize that the current firmware release underclocks the processor to 66% of it's full capability for power-consumption reasons, right? Think about what this incredibly fvcking awesome platform could accomplish if pushed to 100% and beyond. If Sony's not going to, then by god I will. Having multiple kickass PSP games on a single memory stick is just the first step toward PSP greatness. The first step to achieve THAT first step is getting the games off of the UMD which will allow the transfer to memory stick.

Less profitable? You assume that if someone downloads a game, that they would automatically buy it right then if they couldn't download it, which is a falacy. People who download games typically download games because they *won't* pay the outrageous prices for them. Do you really want to get into this whole conversation when it's been done over and over and over again even here on AT?

Will piracy happen with the PSP? Of course. Does AT deserve a pirate's branding because someone else figured out how to do it? Of course not.

My questions were with regard to the listing of what I assume are pirated copies of PSP games, and instructions on how to get them. Not the entire thread, or even the original post.

I make no assumption that every download of a pirated game is a lost sale, but I also don't assume that everyone who downloads a pirated game owns or will buy a legal copy.

Maybe I wasn't clear, although I thought my questions were pretty specific. I am not suggesting that hacking the PSP to do other things with it, like Linux, or emulators, is piracy. I am talking about the specific things I mentioned abut "Paradox", and how to get their products, and I also asked questions, which to me anyway implies I have an opinion, but I want to hear the other side of the issue ?

But AT is promoting piracy because someone linked to a site that has UMD news? Is CNN promoting bombings in Iraq because they report on it?

How would you characterize the stuff I quote below ?

btw, I am asking, and have been asking all along, not declaring.

follow that link the OP posted. Somewhere in the posts they have another link. Click that. On that particular psp hacking website there's a last 5 topics... someone is hosting the files...


edit: you can't play them as of yet. Ridge racer looks to be 450 megs...

Ripping games off the UMD discs for the PSP is a very important breakthrough because if they find a way to play games off the memory stick, then people will be able to play games that load faster AND have much better battery life than with the UMD discs. Sony only went with the UMD discs because it was for piracy reasons but it looks like people have already figured out how to get around this.

So because a webpage linked from AT, that has links to UMD ISO's.... AT is promoting piracy? I hate to tell you this, but you could probably access a large portion of the entire internet by only going 2 levels of links deep.

so ATOT is now a piracy forum?

Thusly, where ever you pulled this statement from is beyond me. AT wasn't even remotely hosting those ISO's - certainly not condoning piracy. By your logic one could say AT, because it is hosting your posts, is promoting them. Thank God THAT isn't true.

I don't see how you get from my question(not statement) to the participants in this thread, that I made any assertion about condoning or promotion by the forum operators.

Shut up. Tom works for Sorny.

 

[hevnsnt]

I would really hate to see this thread get locked because of this stupid arguement.. Lets focus on the hack, not the implications of "piracy"

Your post(s) certainly had implied as much. If you cannot see this, you should limit your posting to P&N where irrational nonsense is acceptable.

It didn't actually take very long. I saw some UMD discs on the net 2-3 weeks back, this article is just behind the times.

no, this article is up to date. paradox's first release of PSP games was on 5/4.

My question(s) would be "irrational nonsense" if I thought AT condoned or promoted piracy, there would be no reason for the question.

So the implication in my posts is the opposite of what you say it is.

great now u can play pirated games while pooping.

 

[Lorn]

I find this enjoyable.

 

[DoggXXL]

:roll: Here we go with the assumptions.

Assumptions ? What kind if group is "Paradox" ?

Why does this thread seek to give instructions where to get their "product" ?

I am willing to listen to why my assumption is wrong..

You assume way too goddamn much. ATOT is now a piracy forum because someone's passing along news that perhaps the greatest functioning hand-held game console to date is having additional features/capabilities added to it by someone other than the original manufacturer.

Good job.

Good job of describing the ability to steal software as a "feature".

I'd like to see you try, or anyone, try to steal Linux. I assume you think all CD/DVD-RW drives are used to steal music? Cars are used for drive bys? Guns are used to kill schoolchildren? P2P for stealing everything else?

Nevermind the fact that if the PSP could run homebrew software it would be about the best thing for Sony - everyone would want one.

your opinions arent wanted here
