Okay, but that's not really what I'm arguing. I'm saying that it's not anything like modifying and redistributing a game.
At any rate, modifying code/data for personal use is not illegal at all. Distributing a tool for others to do so as well is not illegal. Otherwise we'd never have mods for games.
Hell, modifying a settings file to add custom resolutions or fix graphical settings is the same thing.
As for modifying code ...
Cheapest I've seen it for is 52$.. it needs to drop to $40 for me to consider it, I already own the PC version..
I'm a bit of a trophy whore :O
It doesn't really work like that. Think of how patches for games work. Technically, you're modifying software, but do they send you the entire game again, or just the patch data? If they're smart, they'll send only the patch data, as that's much easier to distribute.
Same thing is happening here with firmware, he is not redistributing Sony's firmware, he is distributing a patch to modify it.
GAMING IS DOOMED
Barely did half a million.. really? That's bad? Wow.
Fake rendering again huh, I've seen this before but not quite sure if its supposed to be insulting.
You realize the entire purpose of rasterization is to fake things? So, everyone technically "fake renders".
Wrong again, copyright infringement is the unauthorized use of copyrighted material.
Copyright protects the creator from other parties, as they have exclusive rights to copy/distribute and adapt. Guess what you are doing if you download or distribute a "pirated" copy of a game? You're infringing on their exclusive right to copy or distribute. In other words, copyright infringement. This is not some "silly wiki article", this is the true definition und...
Guess what? It's not theft. It's copyright infringement. Copyright has been around for something like 300 years now.

We have a term to describe what's happening here, so lets use it instead of having to sound unintelligent because we can't say big words like copyright infringement.
At this rate, we may as well label...
Eamon and Dark-king got it, it is not an opinion that copyright infringement is not theft, it is a fact. It would be of your opinion that it is theft.
@browngamer4
wrong
looks like theres some trolls that disagree :D
*pukes*
The worst part of all this is that they re-write the lines, "americanize" them if you will, because us silly english speakers can't understand other cultures.
Blu-ray has so much space, there's no reason for lack of dual-audio anymore.
I don't think I could play this listening to english VA
500k is not a bad number for a week. its actually VERY good. jeez.. have some perspective people
well, yeah, there are varying degrees of caring and in this case I care very little.
Why do we care when BF3 is coming out? :O
Pretty much waiting for a steam sale now. Well actually I had planned to anyway, I wanted to buy a new PC but not until Rage came out.. now I have more incentive to do so. Pretty damn lame, crytek.
Just check out the fence on top of the building

Probably the dumbest trophy I've ever seen.
Minimum 6 months to platinum.. is this their way of stopping people from selling their copies?
Sorry but wrong. Just like you can legally rip a CD and store it on your ipod, which is exactly modifying someone's IP for personal use, as you'd be modifying bitrate and adding metadata, etc. you can do the same for software. It may be against ToS, but ToS != law.
And you missed my argument again: Modifying the actual code is fine, using it may not be. You can do whatever you want in code, nobody can do anything to stop you, UNLESS you run it.
And ju...
