Do you people think that sony could actually win a lawsuit against everyone who watched or commented on that video? Thats just BS... lets sue CNN for broadcasting that Egypt war, and showing the world how to rebel against the government :wacko:
You are generalizing it over there....since not everyone intends to pirate stuffsQuote:

How does pirating have anything to do with respecting what you have?Quote:

I only emulate what I have owned. Sega genesis games, Super Nintendo, NES, Nintendo 64, PSX, Dreamcast. I don't need 7 consoles hooked up to my one TV. That's just stupid. The fact of the matter is if people respected what they had more we wouldn't have to put up with crap like this. Its not some kind of mystical secret.Quote:

Actually I'm a game design major, it might be my product some day.Quote:
