Well, it seems like Playmore busted some more counterfeiters. Some people's call Dax Technology. They were selling counterfeit cartridges. They're really getting at this piracy thing. Let's see how well this goes.

You guys go ahead and read that. There's a Japanese and English version.

They also updated the English SVC page and included the 4 new characters Kim, Genjuro, Sagat, and Vega/Bison.

I applaud them for defending their business against hooligans. (Unlike a lot of kids who say, detest Metalica for defending them selves.)

lol, I was one of them that didn't like Metallica because of the Napster thing. I didn't use Napster that much though back then because it took too long to download a song on my slow ass connection anyway. Plus, I didn't even like them anyway, so it wasn't like I had any of they're songs or anything. I liked what Limp Bizkit and Cypress Hill did with Napster and had the free tour though. I wish I had gone to that, at least to see Cypress Hill!

WESTSIDE!!!!

Why? What is wrong with someone not wanting to be stolen from?

I no longer cared for Metalica by then my self, based on their music going down hill like most of the music industry.

I'm sure Napster paid the bands to go on the tour. limp has almost no talent. Cypress is ok. I went to a few Cypress performances.

I think it's too little too late... the MVS is on it's final days. The real solution is to use new hardware that's harder to bootleg.

I agree that that the smart thing to do is to include defences against theft in future systems. There's always a way around them, but they should atleast put some effort in. They have done this with some recent NG games haven't they? It took very long time periods before some of them were dumped, but now that those dumpers found the way they worked, it would be time to implement another scheme...

I think KOF2k2 had some new defensive stuff, but someone cracked it pretty damn quick. I heard somewhere that SvC was gonna be the last game on using the MVS (I doubt it).

Look at it this way, if Playmore keeps busting people that do this, they have enough money to go and move onto the NAOMI board and make new games and stuff that won't get emulated.

I fully support companies who try to defend their products, but it is worse when they are hypocrites, Metallica being an example. Considering they stole their name and got famous distributing bootlegs of their early material, they are one to talk.

AOL is another hypocrite, they sued a pop up ad agency and yet spam you with pop ups themselves @_@
