I'm just gonna spend a few weeks with my PS3 internet disconnected until this blows over and/or an exploit is released.

*I MEANT TO SAY HACKERS IN THE TITLE, I'm really stoned right now.*

well im on 3.55 still and i received said email containing

im now thinking f**k this im gonna just delete everything and update, im getting sick of having to run umpteen amounts of progs on my pc just to sign in to psn, and as for playing backups i have the originals anyway. cfw has officially lost its appeal to me now, everything else is just a matter of principle

if any one wants to check this out then your sad but it is true however what the copyright law does state is that selling these copies including giving away is a violation of copyright protection placed upon media

I had all my own games backed up, which is 100% legal according to that. I didnt pirate any games. Im not going to waste my bandwidth downloading a massive file just to use more bandwidth to play it. not my style sorry. lol Games are cheap enough to be able to go out and buy them. Although as i saw in another thread some gamesa arent even worth the plastic the disc is made of. like Black Ops. you couldnt pay me to buy/pirate that piece of shit.

yeah lol black ops is so shit i dont reckon its worth the 12.56 gb of hardrive and its legal to back the game up but if you do it to external hard drive and then upload somewhere thats what is illegal however if a game is protected and you back it up for example EA protect there games it is a violation as well

Yeah i was reading about that. All my games were backed up internally. I had no plans on distribution, I just liked how the load times were incredibly fast lol.

i only really ran cfw for load times (fallout 3 goty never crashed once) and the fact that the ps3 did everything 99 times faster than ofw 3.56

They shouldnt hamper the creative minds of the current generation of developers. they should embrace it if anything. After all look what microshaft did with windows phone 7. they use the jailbreak knowledge to fix and re-release their security in the next phone/Console

Im on OFW 3.56 and have yet to receive any message so I think I'm good
