Feds - Against Game Pirates - they serious?

was it like this year or something?

so is this site officially illegal in the US as it tells you how to mode your console for backups?

and making backups is also illegal now right?

 

Here you go for the DMCA info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA

It was signed into law in 1998. I think the ICE ball started rolling with so many sites selling pre-flashed Xbox 360 and chipped Wiis since both allow copied games to boot without additional work. I think most of the older PS2 and Xbox chip required you to flash them with a BIOS and that's how they stayed in a grey area.

 

PS1 and PS2 games were 50 dollars long before modchips and swapmagic ever game into play.

 

Can anyone here honestly say they know of anyone with a MOD chip, that doesn't have at least one "back up" of a game they do not own?

 

i personally dont have any backups that i dont own, thats piracy and i think you should only get what you earn.

 

always has been.

and i'm pretty sure burning a backup, even if you have an original, is considered illegal under DMCA.

but having a sata card in your pc can also be a reason, to take the pc along.

you guys should read the story that is on X-S written by TwistedSymphony

it's quality.

 

me!

 

maybe the pc has iso backups too! that is y!

 

Well when they have a warrant they take anything remotely related the the crime in question. It the cases of these raids that can include any PCs on the premises, they aren't going the go through every file on the PC at the time of the raid.
