Clarification on mod chip situation

[ottoman]

a quick point about the taping stuff from tv or radio, apparently there is a clause that states that u should not keep a recording from tv or radio for longer than seven days. After seven days it must be deleted.

I'd like to see them police that!!

Where did you see this?
That mite be just a UK thing. I've never seen nor herd that over here in the US.

[bighap]

Me either. It must be a UK law that obviously isn't enforced.

You all know what this is about. Many of you want to play pirate games.

The UK Judge who ruled against Channeltech said that the risk of piracy was greater than the mooted benefits of taking legal backups.

You know the Judge was right.

So the Forum's Principals wish to minimise the risk of being closed down because of facilitating the acquisition of chips that a Judge ruled could not be manufactured.

The Forum Principals decided on the rule to assure that this Forum is protected from overt association with potentially illegal matters.

so surely posting info on how to make pirate copies must be borderline as well,yes we all say they are legal backups but judge would surely see it the same way as most will use it to make pirate copies


info on how to use boot with the chips,surely in the judges eyes we would be booting pirate copies

maybe dvdwriters should be banned as most will use them illegally

if this site was selling chips ,yes then they should be worried,but there members telling others were to get them,they taking it a bit to far

i think most will agree ,getting caught by sony for owning a modchip aint going to get u in much trouble

getting caught with loads pirate games u going to be in alot more trouble,

lol i think u know what i think of this new rule,using the forum principals way of thinking maybe we should all post about the footie, then the forum wont get shut down

Ottoman > Yeh, as far as i've always been told, and I once read up on i knew that there was some legality regarding taping from TV.
Something about if you don't own the legal copyright of the film you need permission from the company.....or something like that.


With the topic of the modchip situation can i just say that don't you think it's a bit stupid that fileforums is a link from a site called GAMECOPYWORLD?

Obviously promoting copies..whether legal or backups.

[hyungsup]

I say we should ban all modchips like messiah and magic and get no solder
I hear they don't boot backups well but okay with originals and import
Well obiously not dvd9 games
But sure if it's simple to install it then it will be simple to uninstall it.
Or all these sort of forums can face sony can't they???
If there are 1milion people world wide using these kind of forums, then Each people can donate 1dollar or mabe 10dollars.
then it will be 10million. Then we could be able to get few top quality laywers ^^
