The relevant part of the rules state (bolded):
WP rules wrote:
3. Other inappropriate content and behavior prohibited on Wrong Planet:
This includes copyrighted material, serial codes, and posts made to promote a website, group or product, particularly if made repeatedly and without other participation in the WP community (spamming). This also includes discussion of locked topics, discussion of banned members and why they were banned and anything else that purposely causes conflict with other members.
I read that as saying it's fine to talk about PS2 mods, exchange stories, compare games (ripped off or otherwise), discuss compatibility issues etc - but
not Ok to post links to things like free copies of Photoshop etc or links promoting code or methods of hacking it (or other copyrighted programs) - because
that form of copyright protection bypass is illegal, period. It is not country-dependent.
I've been told in the past that WP is effectively governed by American legislation relating to the freedom of speech and therefore discussion of this specific softmodding topic is permissible because it is permissible in the USA.
Where I would draw a line is if posts drifted off into a
promotion of hacking (in the generally accepted "legally questionable" meaning) of any sort or asking for detailed instructions on hacking, all of which are better answered elsewhere and avoid the possibility of WP becoming involved in potential legal issues
WP is first and foremost a social and support forum for people with various forms of Autism and related conditions - it's not a technical forum, nor a chemistry forum, nor a gardening forum etc.
All of these things and many more are
very much better dealt with in detail off WP.
