I am personally not sure of the 100% exact laws regarding this. However, the only way that even might possibly be legal to do it, is if you were to rip the PROM out of your Playstation, buy a PROM chip reader/writer for your computer, and write a software program that would make a copy of the PROM into a .iso file.

The fact is, that 99.999999999% of users wouldn't take the time or money to do it this way. And also, I'm not even sure if this method is even legal.

To be safe, and because there is such a small minority that would even try to do it this way, it is safer for Aximsite to have members simply not discuss it on here.

If someone actually wants to take the time to get in touch with the "powers that be" within the Sony Corporation, get them to agree to allow us to discuss it, and have them mail over a signed contract saying so......then we'll be glad to allow it here. But I have a feeling that nobody would take the time to do this, and also know that Sony would not agree to it. :)
