Cracking Down On Piracy

[acer5050]

I've run into a psp site that has tons of illegal iso/cso's on it! They will not remove them and the owner of the host has not either.

how can we work together to get piracy sites shut down?

While there are many sites that choose to host and distribute illegal copies of PSP games, it is unlikely that any actions you can take will have a grand enough affect on it to alter the practice in general, and PSP games are not the only content or even the primary one, for that matter, that this is true for. Movies, games, books, music, and software are all illegally distributed on a massive scale, and hosting of this illegal content is often located in countries where either no laws exist preventing it or in countries where the laws are simply not enforced. This doesn't even include sites that host things like torrents, where data is not even hosted at a single location but actually transferred by some form of person-to-person network.

If a site in particular offends you, you may try to check to whom the web address has been registered, or if it is being hosted by another site. If the address is registered to an individual or group within a country that enforces piracy laws, you may attempt to contact law enforcement in that country, particularly a piracy or computer crime division, and see if you can have the site shut down. If the web address is hosted by another person, company, or service, you may attempt to contact them and notify them that a person or group is using their hosted web address to distribute illegal content.

If the site is registered to an address in a country that doesn't have or doesn't enforce piracy laws, you really don't have much you can do.

Not all piracy just psp piracy slow it down.

[NuMB3Rs]

the way i see it is, dont try and be a hero, come on, you know you pirate

[acer5050]

No I don't

I'm not a thief unlike some people around here

[blacker09]

oh wah! get over it you arent gunna stop pirating. If you want to help just dont be a pirate and that will be your contribution.

But i see why you want it to slow down becasue that guy is using your site name.

[acer5050]

That is the main reason... I don't want him to ruin my sites reputation

[illmanered]

seems how your on this site youve ben involved in "hacking" into the psp. using programs created to hack the psp. and your complaining about games that people upload and share with other people?

[acer5050]

Illegal copies of games... there is nothing illegal with hacking a psp

If you don't want your reputation to be ruined, change your site's name. In all fairness, he made his first.

And one person rallying to stop piracy like this, not gonna happen

[acer5050]
