Sony – Levels of PSP piracy are “sickening”

psp3000a2

SCEA’s Peter Dille has told Gamasutra the PSP’s got a big piracy problem. Like you didn’t know.

“I’m convinced and we’re convinced that piracy has taken out a big chunk of our software sales on PSP,” Dille told Gamasutra.

“It’s been a problem that the industry has to address together; it’s one that I think the industry takes very seriously, but we need to do something to address this because it’s criminal what’s going on, quite frankly.

“It’s not good for us, but it’s not good for the development community,” he added. “We can look at data from BitTorrent sites from the day Resistance: Retribution goes on sale and see how many copies are being downloaded illegally, and it’s frankly sickening.”

Full interview through there. Thanks, Eurogamer.

If pirating is so bad why don’t these big corporations go after google for having links to pirated material. A lot of people started pirating by accident you know.

You know… thinking about it, FACT is a bit of a stupid name. How exactly does one commit copyright theft?

Yeah where is that Esha guy. I remember when I first started to come here he was one of the few people who had the “Voice of Reason”. The guy made some good points almost every comment he post.

If you’re out there Esha and you’re reading this please make your much needed return brother.
