Which pretty much "proves" yet again the futility of trying to fight 
it.  Sony decided to give up on trying to fight people who would 
eventually modchip the PS3 and circumvented them altogether making the 
games Region Free.  That's right folks, you can play foreign PS3 titles 
in an American PS3 console without modding it.  Sony also gave up on 
trying to fight homebrew game developers from trying to make their own 
games for the console too and they released a version of Linux designed 
to run on the hardware also.  When will companies realize that they are 
just wasting their time trying to fight stuff like this, whether its 
legal or not.  Besides, the latest statistics show the whole piracy 
thing is still being overblown as bigger than it really is.
