I also sent other emails in regards to other questions such as "can we get banned using CFW?"

I sent the same email on different email accounts as well and will upload them to check for consistency. As of right now, this is proof from Playstation customer services that we will not get banned using backups.

This is not definite, and it does not tell us whether we can get banned using CFW however.


If you can, upload pictures of your email and whether or not you will get banned for "X" reason.

The reply from sony said you may backup DATA to a usb or your HDD, it did not say you may illegally pirate games with your console.

They will not be able to differentiate between the two without coming to your house themselves, so they will not ban you for using pirated games.

I sent them an email regarding whether or not we will get banned using CFW, but they haven't replied. I will post an image once they do though.

Yeah that's what they said, they didn't say you could backup full games to a HDD or anything, I think they thought you meant backing up savedata or something like that.

I made it more specific and sent the reply, and will post it.

Exactly. They can't ban you for using something you own. Too bad for Sony they can't tell the difference.

Yea, she says we're getting banned. I'm calling tomorrow though to officially confirm it, and I will upload it here.

I noticed that there was an error in her mentioning of the piracy laws, which I corrected with this response.
