It seems that Sony also forgets that all those "Copyright Laws" also allow you to have a SINGLE Backup Copy of your media. So from the legal aspect of it it would be impossible for them to tell if the game was pirated. **** em.

They can't console ban their consumers from using their ps3's. Well, they could and they would go bankrupt from getting sued.

I read it and am not worried. They're scaremongering imo...

"To avoid this, consumers must immediately cease use and remove all circumvention devices and delete all unauthorized or pirated software from their PlayStation 3 systems."

...what this means to me is, We know what you're doing and we can't stop you so hopefully this will scare you into going official.

I actually lol'd when I read it, genuinely.

Yes they can, I am pretty sure it is in the user agreement you have to accept to update/play online. But the 3.56 one is a bit different so this might only apply to that one.

I don't see how they can detect us if they are told we're on 3.56..
