What would happen

[Pjanoo]

If I admit to downloading games onto my Ps3 and never backing them up from a disc I bought.

Not that I would do that, i would just like to know what would happen.

What you do is your own business, but please, keep any outright piracy discussion off the forum. Nobody is being hypocritical here, just abiding by the rules of this particular forum.

[Jay-Jay]

What should happen is topics like these should be closed or deleted and the author of the topic given a warning. I see you had another topic closed today on the similar message: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f118/pla...y-maaan-89035/ (This place is all about the piracy, maaan.)

I got a feeling that this person is here just to troll, but I could be wrong.

[sabin1981]

Aye, I know what he's doing. He's doing the exact same thing every other person has done so far when you shut them down from their piracy rants; they start up another rant about hypocrisy. Every. Single. Time.

Can we pull him out in a dark alley and explain the rules literally?

first of all just because people talk about new cfw or needing keys to play new game backups it doesnt mean that it is about what you call "piracy" in order to maintain homebrew you need to stay at 3.55 or lower so you there are legit reasons people need fixes to play newer games ,they NEED that so that they dont have to update their fw to version that does not allow homebrew, and also just because someone mentions that they have downloaded a game from online that also does not automatically make them what you call a "pirate" they could have a broken bluray drive and still own the game ,they could have a disc that is too scratched to rip,and any games that require a patched eboot cant run from disc anyways,
and i dont consider what most of these youngins who have no idea that they have been brainwash and are being programmed like good little sheep by the media companies, the media companies that own the content and also control the whole of the mainstream media,"piracy" to be piracy
because it is not ,it is FAIR USE ,only because the media and content owners who own and control it have an agenda that involves perverting the meaning of the word "picacy" and brainwashing the public ,especially the younger genertaion who are too young to remember why it is not "piracy but instead FAIR USE , people like this believe that this is piracy
it is not "piracy unless you are making copies of copyrighted material and then selling those copies at a profit , having ONE copy of a copyrighted work for your own personal use is not "piracy" it is fair use ,no matter how much influence over the public and the law these corporations have and no matter how hard they try to conince people otherwise and no matter how many BS laws they pass ,that is the fact of the matter,people need to wake up to the fact they are being programmed by immoral corporations to have these phony moral stances that only further the agenda of these corporations ,that if you really were awake and awre of the full extent of the intent of their agenda you would certainly not be felling bad for them
when you listen to a copyrighted song on the radio ,is that piracy? how about if you record it and play it back later for your own listening enjoyment?no ,well what about if you record a copyrighted song from the radio and then play it at a party for 100's of people ?is that piracy? should you go around and collect a royalty from everyone there and mail it to the record company who owns the copyright,
what if you bring a game to friend house to play on his console,he is enjoying that game without having paid for it , so should the game companies now make their discs marry the 1st console they are placed in? how about they do that and then have kinect like devices with iris scanners and controllers with thumb print scanners to make sure only the person who paid for the disc is the one playing it and then automatically bill you to your credit card through your xbox live account,or whatever , bill you for each hour or minute that they biometrically detect some unauthorized player who hasnt paid playing that game

people need to get a brain start thinking for themselves and stop being such corporate sycophants and stop listening to the media ,tv ,raido, movies ,newspapers ,magazines ,like gaming mags, rags that push this BS agenda with their antipiracy propaganda sprinkled throughout

To the above poster ranting on what they think piracy is. Whenever you download something that isn't your code and isn't freeware or is being sold for any price and you download it for free, that is piracy. Listening to a song on the radio isn't piracy, they need to spread their music somehow, downloading/recording it however, is piracy. If you record it for hundreds of people to listen to, good for you, they aren't at fault for your piracy, you are. Taking a game that you purchased to a friends house isn't piracy, you own the license to that specific disc, if he makes a backup of your disc, then it is piracy. You just played out the most horrible scenarios as to why things shouldn't be considered piracy. If you don't want to grow up and face laws, that's on you but trying to persuade other people that you have some valiant reasoning because you don't want to cough up money to a corporation isn't working. The trivial reasoning that you went off onto wasn't even really related to the thread.

Now since I told you stuff that you don't want to face because you're all for piracy, try to start an argument with me, as we all see this this coming from miles away.

Aye, I know what he's doing. He's doing the exact same thing every other person has done so far when you shut them down from their piracy rants; they start up another rant about hypocrisy. Every. Single. Time.

You nailed that one right on the head.

its not piracy it is "FAIR USE" unless you make money from selling a copyrighted work then its not piracy
you have just been conditioned and programmed to think so ,making one single copy for your own personal use is not "piracy"
funny how sony themselves tried to argue the very point i am making in court back in the 80's when the major content owners of the day were tyring to prevent them from selling their betamax ,but now that it does not bennefit them they have reversed their argument , they are total hypocrites ,they want to have their cake and eat it too , i am grown up ,probably older than you, and i dont abide by bS laws that are bought by corporation for their sole benefit ,if you want to buy into their corporate propaganda and be brainwashed and programmed then good for you ,so i guess back in the 80's when sony was making tape decks with "high speed dubbing" that allowed people to make ,as you would call it "pirated copies" of copyrighted works,music,that was on the most advanced and widely used media of their day , then that was ok ,its ok when they want to sell you something that facilitates "piracy" accelerated piracy no less(high speed dubbing)but then they also go along and push and lobby and out right bribe people im sure for laws and lobby through the mpaa and riaa to pass things like dmca ,that classifies all sorts of stuff "circumvetion devices"and tries to have them pulled off the shelf and have the manufacturers sued and criminally charged , oh well unless it happens to be the ones that are made by them ,cd-r ,dvd,and blu-ray burners ,made by sony are exempt of course
its ok to record or dvr a tv show that airs on the public airwaves and networks ,take the simpsons for example , airs ona publically brodcasted network ,sent out over the airwaves for all to see and record ,its ok to record it on a vcr/dvr isnt it? oh but if you want to watch it on your computer then it magically becomes"piracy" ,try looking up watchsimpsonsonline.net or whatever the site was called,its not there it was taken down,why , so they can sell you something that is pretty much free ,free to watch on free tv free to record free to dvr , oh but no ,now its not FAIR USE ,its "piracy"oohh big bad piracy
YOU ARE BEING PROGRAMMED
YOU ARE A SHEEP BAHHHHH BAHHHHHHH BAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WAKE UP
STOP BEING BRAINWASHED
STOP BELIEVING THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA
STOP BELIEVING THAT JUST BECAUSE IT IS THE STATUS QUO THAT IT IS RIGHT,AND SHOULD BE ADHERED TO WITHOUT QUESTION
START THINKING FOR YOURSELF

oh and fyi copyright was not invented to contol content like this ,it was invented to prevent people from passing someone elses IP off as their own,and to avoid confusion and prevent 2 similar things, an original and a counterfeit that were indistinguishable from one another from existing

[billpine]

Outside the box man!!

[Jay-Jay]

Ha ha, most of you have interesting points, at least they are, but still very controversial. That is why I said earlier, it's best to close and prevent these topics to come forth.
