At this stage some people advertised for installing hdloader in Sydney's tradingpost claiming hdloader is 100% legal software. Hope $ony does not read the paper.

hi,
i woul like to know why hd loader is illegal? (acording to what i had read in some foruns its bcoz it aparently use a few sony libraries).
And about HD advance? is i illegal? and swap magic? is it also legal?

the reason hdloader is illegal is probably because you can copy games that you DONT own from your friends and then play them w/o needing any type of confirmation that you DO indeed have the original game. hdadvance would be illegal too BUT there is no point in going after them since it is basically the same thing as hdloader. the S isnt going after hdloader alone but the whole idea of games on hdd so if they win hdadvance will have to be shut down too. kill 2 birds with 1 stone idea. the reason swap magic is legal is law states you can make ONE legal backup copy of a game you own.

Yes but what about ONE legal backup copy to an HDD? Everything can be stretched and interpreted different ways.

I think HDLoader shut down bc he/they did not have enough money to get a good enough lawyer to put against Sony.

hdloader got shut down because it makes piracy very convenient. pure and simple.

Why buy when you canrent the etir rental library and rip it within a few months with gamepass?

YOu will note the japaese clone hd timesaver requests original disc each time.
