I know plenty. I know how a community like that shouldn't exist in the first place. Modding your own console should be enough. There is no reason for the mass spread. Except for fame, which is exactly what the hackers want. And at what cost? The cost of pirates pirating games. It just isn't worth it but they do it anyways.

That same scene turned the PSP into what it is today, not SONY.

Just look at the cycle of events beginning from KXploit and how each time the scene added a new feature (Ex: Web Browser, Internet Radio) SONY responded by then adding it to the official FW.

CFW PSP also played PS1 titles before SONY added the feature.

 

There is no basis to even begin an argument on why it shouldn't exist, especially if your only argument is piracy, who's effects are so incredibly overblown, not to mention isn't the purpose of the scene but instead the purpose of those who exploit what the scene has created.

 

Like I said originally, it isn't right to just go and lump everyone together. Fans on this very site hate it when people generalize and lump them all together.

Damn right! That's the thing I hate the most about these PS3 hax threads...

Homebrew =/= Piracy. Heck, most homebrewers clearly takes a stance against piracy.
