It seems ever since Sony released the PSP, it has been playing a cat and mouse game with homebrew and piracy developers. And just as the cat thinks its about to catch the mouse, it slips away again.
In a recent article, the Washington Post elaborates on Sony's, and other console company's, attempts to stop piracy and homebrew. The article also reveals what many of us have already known for a while - Sony throwing in a couple of next-to-useless features bundled with patches to close security leaks and calling it an update.
While Sony has every right to safeguard its system from people attempting to illegally play PSP ISOs, I think it would be nice to see them somehow embrace the homebrew community while also continuing the fight against piracy. How do you guys feel about Sony's attempts at stopping piracy and homebrew on the PSP, and do you think they'll ever succeed?
