Hail to the King
I was reading the Playstation.com news on their japanese site a little while ago. They are now warning customers (in Asia) that viruses can be spread via ripped UMD's and emulators. What are they trying to do with this? And Nintendo has been taking a number of rom sites to court. It's anticipated that when N releases the Revolution, they will be pushing hard on oldskewl NES/SNES/N64 games. So this is like their preliminary attack, kind of like the R1AA going after Napster and then going after customers and other file sharing sites.
So I have to ask, why are these companies so d*mn stupid? Why are they against emulation so much? Don't they realize that many untranslated games from Japan could be emulated and people might order the originals? If they would stop attacking people who translate games, many of these games almost entirely unavailable in many countries...they might generate some more hardware sales. Their policies are so stupid, they are shooting themselves in the foot and actually PROMOTING bootlegging, and piracy.
