well, i downloaded a lot of movies on my PS3 with Stage 6, But with no Stage 6 anymore, kinda makes you think. Did anyone else download their movies with the PS3? It was so cool to be able to do that, and get old school movies or new screener movies to show my buddies and stuff. Thanks Zippy for the input btw.

only thing i can think is that you were using linux????
anyway i think you are bang on with what you are saying, its the same reason why we will never see an upgraded flash player on the ps3, sony dont want us using websites like hulu to watch shows when we could buy the episode from them for a couple bucks.
Quote:Nah dude, it worked for me, you just have to know how to do it. You had to click under the video "download video" and it would download to the HDD. That's how it worked. I still have a bunch of DivX movies on my PS3. No linux either, i used the XMB. And i didn't use the Web Browser to view the videos, i saved them to my HDD using the "download video" option under the no-working web browser video player that was provided on Stage6..Now do you remember?? BTW, it was really hard to see, but the Download video option was there dude. I have about 60 divx movies on my HDD...Originally posted by bdoggie08:when did you download movies from stage 6 on the ps3? stage 6 never worked on the ps3 for me, i assumed it was because there was no divx webplayer included in the divx update.

Why do you care to ask? You will not buy a Sony product or service. Why comment?
Sounds good. How long does it take to download a 1-1/2 hour movie.
Quote:Excellent point and this is how it should be with all restrictive software. However, I think the majority that are concerned about this type of DRM would be the pirates and then the DRM is doing it's job. I doubt that the typical user, who doesn't pirate or download or try to hack and modify their consoles, would actually notice. It would be interesting to see some numbers of just how much piracy in being seen with the PS3 vs. legit usage.

if this is the case it should state this in big red letters on the front, if it is open to using media you have purchased on your other devices without having to purchase multiple copies for each device then this is great news.
Originally posted by LOCOENG:moving the divx file you have purchased onto your ipod so you can watch it on your way home is not pirating the media and this is the restrictions that need to be highlighted on the front of the product or next to the "buy now" tab and seems the divx drm is locked to 1 user multiple devices can be achieved easily if sony choose to allow this instead of just locking it to their branded hardware.

Quote:That actually depends on which article you are reading...the Fair Use Act or DMCA. Fair Use states that it is lawful to make a backup of your purchased items, then DMCA comes along and states it is illegal to circumvent the copy protection found on those items. It's a double edged sword and in the end if you do make a backup it is illegal if you live in the U.S.A. Of course the laws are different from country to country so it may be perfectly legal where you live.
I back up my media. I format shift my media. This is legal!
