  • If we do not own the games when we purchase them, then piracy is not stealing. Don’t want to give us ownership when we pay for it, okay. Pirate everything. Jailbreak the PlayStation, download the games, and put them on an HDD/SSD, whatever, and play them. That way, you own the game and can play whenever you want.

    That said, I don’t think this sentiment of Sony is new. I think many companies have been doing the “you just get a license but don’t own the thing you purchased” thing for a long time. Sony is just currently the company that is getting the most attention for it.

    It is why I always say, “Get a PC, learn to pirate everything, and purchase the software and games from independent developers (indies).”. That way, you own the software and the games while also supporting the developers that deserve it.

    This way, you don’t have to worry about the whole “you don’t own the product” thing, keep money in your pocket, which is economically wiser in today’s times, and you can support the developers that deserve it.













  • Honestly, I wish the system would just educate such people in “white hat” hacking (if that’d the correct term?). I mean, I have zero knowledge in hacking, coding and that kind of stuff but he seems really smart.

    What he did is definitely wrong but, he also said himself;

    “I think I need to go to prison for what I did,” Lane told ABC News in an exclusive interview

    “It was disgusting, it was greedy, it was rooted in my own insecurities, it was wrong in every aspect,” he said in the interview, two days before reporting to prison.

    Now I’m also a bit skeptical because, he could also say this only due to him being caught, arrested and now sent to prison.

    Members of Generation Z – who have had digital devices and the Internet in their lives since birth – are particularly vulnerable to the allure of cybercrime because the social media platforms they inhabit can glorify “a criminal lifestyle”

    It is not “can”, it is. Movies, tv shows and a lot of social media post do glorify crimes.

    Wanted to write more but eh, at work…
