    Awesome that you're able to buy up all of those PS2 games now that they're cheap and used. Of course, this doesn't benefit the manufacturers, authors or publishers now, but I'm glad it makes you feel better.
    The ps3 has been out for 6 years now or so and theres only a rumor of some guy cracking it, which hasnt been said in awhile. With the first xbox, there is far more people making emulators to play older games on it than to emulate it and play the games on their computers like the first playstation.

    These ps2 games arent printed anymore or sold new by stores which would give the money to the developers. Buying them used is all I can do to experience their hard work and Ill buy other games in the future, most likely new since used prices arent competitive with newer games. Guilty Gear developers made Blazeblue and Im gonna get that as soon as I get a 360. Itll be awhile though since I dont have the money for it yet.

    The movie studios and governments closed down megaupload for having movies on it, but they werent making as much money off that like used stores all around the world. The used market like thrift stores and retro game stores arent seen as a black market but online sites like megaupload are going down since peopl are freely downloading games. Theres these people who make money like Goodwill reselling stuff to people who will pay less for a product and thats seen as normal business while some teenager downloading stuff for free from a site that takes occasional donations just to stay up and running are seen as criminals. I really dont understand this.
