Yeah that's what it basicly means.MZ EXE. said:I just got this email saying this.

Does this mean they are going after PSPs with custom firmware? I know the PS2 doesn't have any online anymore and PS3 hardly can even be hacked. The only thing left is the PSP.
Damn I guess I have to make a new one. I don't download much from the PSN except demos, but since I use it as well on my PS3. I'd rather keep them separate.DBlaze said:Yeah that's what it basicly means.MZ EXE. said:I just got this email saying this.

However, who would download anything from the PSN store anyway when you've got custom firmware?
Kind of pointless, but I guess they've got to do something.

Yeah, and it's 5 years for every act of circumvention. That means that if you started with 2.71SE and are now at 5.50 GEN and only updated to newer OE/M33 firmware when a new OFW was used as a base (and the only GEN firmware you used was 5.50), then you are looking at 70 years in prison (2.71se, 3.02oe, 3.03oe, 3.10oe, 3.30oe, 3.40oe, 3.51m33, 3.52m33, 3.71m33, 3.80m33, 3.90m33, 4.01m33, 5.00m33, 5.50gen multiplied by 5 years for each one). That's not including any ISO/CSOs you may have (either from self made backups or downloads) or any PS1 games you converted. Better hope they don't push for consecutive sentencing.
I'm curious wasn't there something that said you can't be tried twice for the same crime? So I'm guessing the max one can do is 5 years.Livin in a box said:I've logging into the Store on my PSP before with custom firmware and I also use the same account on my PS3...Maybe I shouldn't?
Yeah get another one for your PSP, I did just incase. I have a few purchases on a old one for PS3 games and I don't want to lose them.

Double jeopardy doesn't apply that way. When they said "same crime", they mean like if you got acquitted, they can't retry you again for that same exact incident. So someone could get charged with stealing twice, as long as you stole twice. If you got charged for stealing, then got acquitted, they can't retry you for that same incident, but they could charge you again if you did it again. This should be obvious enough since it's similar to illegal music dling, and how ppl that got charged had to pay enormous amounts, not just one song.MZ EXE. said:I'm curious wasn't there something that said you can't be tried twice for the same crime?
