Lancée en l'an 2000, la PS2 a été une console emblématique de cette époque, devenant la console la plus vendue de tous les temps. Elle a accueilli des titres majeurs comme "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" et "Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty"

"If buying isn't owning, #piracy isn't stealing"

Source: https://pluralistic.net/2023/12/08/playstationed/#tyler-james-hill

Last week, #Playstation owners who'd bought (or "bought") Warner TV shows got messages telling them that #Warner had walked away from its deal to sell videos through the Playstation store, and so all the videos they'd paid for were going to be deleted forever. They wouldn't even get refunds (to be clear, refunds would also be #bullshit – when I was a bookseller, I didn't get to break into your house and steal the books I'd sold you, not even if I left some cash on your kitchen table).

So the entertainment industry thinks copying is like stealing but deleting bought licenses from the customer is not stealing because it's normal business? It's a mad world.

#Sony deleting purchased #PlayStation videos from customers’ libraries

Source: https://www.diversetechgeek.com/sony-deleting-purchased-playstation-videos-customers-libraries/

Discovery, they’ll be deleting a very long list of Discovery-related reality shows (“Shark Week,” etc.) from the (now-shuttered) PlayStation video store on December 31. This includes deleting the videos of anyone who’s paid for copies. And no, no refunds are planned (as of this writing); basically, the customers’ shows will just be gone, along with their cash.

DRM = Digital Restriction Management
Don't buy digital content you only get a short license but you own nothing at the end.

I proposed that all Wired endorsements for DRM-encumbered products should come with this disclaimer:\
\
WARNING: THIS DEVICE’S FEATURES ARE SUBJECT TO REVOCATION WITHOUT NOTICE, ACCORDING TO TERMS SET OUT IN SECRET NEGOTIATIONS. YOUR INVESTMENT IS CONTINGENT ON THE GOODWILL OF THE WORLD’S MOST PARANOID, TECHNOPHOBIC ENTERTAINMENT EXECS. THIS DEVICE AND DEVICES LIKE IT ARE TYPICALLY USED TO CHARGE YOU FOR THINGS YOU USED TO GET FOR FREE — BE SURE TO FACTOR IN THE PRICE OF BUYING ALL YOUR MEDIA OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AT NO TIME IN HISTORY HAS ANY ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY GOTTEN A SWEET DEAL LIKE THIS FROM THE ELECTRONICS PEOPLE, BUT THIS TIME THEY’RE GETTING A TOTAL WALK. HERE, PUT THIS IN YOUR MOUTH, IT’LL MUFFLE YOUR WHIMPERS.\

Wired didn't take me up on this suggestion.

Everybody loves this racket. In Poland, a team of security researchers at the OhMyHack conference just presented their teardown of the anti-repair features in NEWAG Impuls locomotives. NEWAG boobytrapped their trains to try and detect if they've been independently serviced, and to respond to any unauthorized repairs by bricking themselves:\

Poland is part of the EU, meaning that they are required to uphold the provisions of the 2001 EU Copyright Directive, including Article 6, which bans this kind of reverse-engineering. The researchers are planning to present their work again at the Chaos Communications Congress in Hamburg this month – Germany is also a party to the EUCD. The threat to researchers from presenting this work is real – but so is the threat to conferences that host them:\

HDL Dump added to repository

Written by 0mega ☣ [pl] — October 23, 2023

"Another little utility has been added to my personal Debian repository. This evening I have added HDL Dump to my personal Debian repository. It allows owners of a PlayStation 2 gaming console to play games from an internal or external mass storage device. The manpage is a rough draft made with help2man and the accompanying git repo still lacks proper readme and license files, but it looks like it’s working for now. The current release can be downloaded from the releases page (AMD64 only) or from my Debian repository,"
