article published on 13 June, 2007
After reports surfaced that hackers had cracked the PlayStation 3's anti-piracy software, Sony America has declared that it will "aggressively pursue" anyone who is caught doing so. They have said the activity will merit legal action if caught.
"Unfortunately, hackers will try to exploit any hardware system software," SCEA spokesperson Dave Karraker said.

Come on People Lets Get this thing straight First of all Sony or MS Does not care if there console is to be modified. modified or not they still get the income its just a press release we all know that they just produced 1 to 100 ratio in game making to make it clear both of them produced 1 out of 100 games out to be sold in the market. Making them the least looser when it comes to game making Plus a gain for there console. you may ask me why look at the Darkside of Business, an example of this is the Nintendo console what happen to them, poor sales you know why. No piracy, the logic is this why buy a cheaper console w/ expensive games where else you can buy a console thats expensive but a lot cheaper games. imagine for 54$ or maybe higher you can buy almost 10 pirated games else on originals you only get a shitty 1 mouthwatering game. The number one looser in this Piracy is the Game Makers They lost 80% of the market co'z the moment a cd gets into the hands of a winning piracy. Good bye Income, sorry for the Programmers your game is now almost free w/ the effort of creating it for weeks. the saying will someday be true that "Piracy kills Creativity" who would want to excert an effort in making a game that you work for weeks,hours or even months that just be sold for 2$. Grow up, To sum it up
Console makers w/ Pirated games (Winner)
Console makers w/ out Pirated Games (Looser)
Games W/ Anti Piracy ( Winner)
Games that can be Pirated (Looser)
Make Sense

So I think Sony doesn't really have much to worry about. The PS3 games are like 20GB+ so it's definately going to be hard to pirate over the internet. So Sony should look at those facts and realize they have nother major to worry about, other than the lost of so many exclusive.
Actually, people won't need a Blu-ray burner and disks if they (PS3 hackers) can get an ISO loader working. However, they would need a big hard drive to store all of those games considering the size of them.
Sorry for double post Accidentally Click Post Message PLS. DELETE THIS POST

I Hate Over Prized Games but at the Same time I hate Piracy but to come and think of it. I wish they could have at least make the games cheaper in exchange of a deal that no more piracy rather than fighting them and making modders more determined. In My Opinion if I make something w/ my full effort I should at least make good of it in return. But if my effort is put to none I'ed rather not make them anymore and keep it to myself, as i say before my past posts "Piracy will Surely kill Creativity". Someday no more games will be made

Dont you all realize what this Sony message is REALLY about:
They are throwing down the gauntlet to the hackers IN THE HOPES that they will go out and BUY the ps3 to boost sales!
they aint worried about piracy or modding at all... what they ARE worried about is lagging sales, product sitting on shelves, reduced orders for more product and running out of propaganda to help give the false image that they are winnning the (name your war here).
The very nature of this letter from Sony gives the impression that this is a VERY BIG issue right now (which it is not) which gives the (false) impression that the ps3 is entrenched enough (it is not) for it to even be a big issue...
just more Sony propaganda!
lol

If Sony truly worries about the lagging sales, then for start - Sony should remove the region-protection from online experiences fors start! It will encourage more sales as people would buy games and play it against anyone around the world.
no wonder why Xbox Live is so popular over PS Network because Xbox live doesn't have that "region-protection"!
I never understand why Sony wanted to implement the region-protection for online experience, and yet they encourage all games to be "region-free"! a bunch of hypocritical, Sony executives are...
Good thing the God of Playstatoin (I forgot his name but you know who I refer to) is retiring from Sony, to distance himself and his reputation from this fiasco!
Sony - soon you remove region protection, it will improve your sales. Simple business lesson for you, - for free of charge!

That would be "Krazy Ken Kuratagi". Loudest mouth in the east, and the bane to PR gurus everywhere. In MBA graduate programs, his verbal diarrhea is used as a fine example of what *not* to say in public.

i think the region protection is to save bandwidth on the few servers they have, aswell and the dev's servers. its alot cheaper to space them out than to let them connect.

Making a console as difficult to hack is music to a hackers ears. And tbo, most dont do it to play pirated games. They do it cos Sony said it cannot be done, which we all know is crap.
Plus, it's my console and I can do what I want to it. If SOny were that bothered then I'm sure they would stop the idiots smashing them in front of waiting people on release day ( he says sarcastically ).
Also piracy isn't making Sony, or anyone else loose money. I know of many people who have hacked 360's and all the others who simply wont buy the games anyway! If a console was impossible to hack, then sales of games wont go through the roof. And before you mention Dreamcast, ok that was hit hard by piracy, but it was so easy to play copied games on it that almost anyone could do it. I still here peoiple shocked that you can play copied games on a PSP.
Quite simply, the no of people with hacked consoles and games, are insignificant to the amount of legit players.
And besides Sony thinks it's gonna scare off these hackers by shouting and puffing their chests out!!?? Do me a favour!

...anyone caught trying to use an exploit in an illegal manner.
What about all of those people who are caught using hacks in a LEGAL manner? What happens to them?
Does this BS extend to things like cars? They run on complex proprietary operating systems, and there are plenty of companies out there selling tools to "hack" into those "gaming consoles" and modify how they operate, and even plenty of places to buy modchips for cars to make them REALLY wild.
So why aren't GM, Ford, Toyota, & the rest going after THOSE 'pirates'???

If they do not sue a unique disc system like the Game cube and DC they them selfs are setting them selfs up to be hacked, I have had a few games in my life that would not boot under nomral circumstance and for some I only used copies of that game because I did not want to damage the original, then add the stagnation of 50+$ mediocre games I use backups and "copies" as means to test a games worth.
Altho the best way to stick it tot eh man is buy used nothign like buying a new "$60" game for 25$ off ebay or else where it only takes 2 or 3 months for a game to bomb!

For Online Play, it is your console, and you can do what you want to it.. Offline, but the moment you take it online, you are able to have a lifetime ban for online.
For Pirating Games, which this article is about.. I think we all know it is against the law to rent a game, burn it, and play it.
Otherwise, you can mod your console, as long as you don't copy a disc, or take your console online.

That's the first thought I got when I read those lines from Sony.
Sony is giving hackers all the enthusiasm and fuel that they desire.

Come on People they don't need hackers co'z the real hacker is just under the table they pay people to hack there console secretly, its a conspiracy theory. the moment they put out the console the secrets been out they just let it stay in the market for a while, then when sales fall down they put out the backup plan. Big companies don't like loosing money they always have a backup plan. Hackers and Companies alike they all get there profit.
