<description><![CDATA[ Sony, as a company, has had something of a split personality on issues having to do with unauthorized file sharing.  The content side of the business is obviously very much against it.  But the consumer electronics side of the house recognizes how it can be quite beneficial towards raising the value of consumer electronics.  Even so, it's still a bit of a surprise to hear an exec basically tell fans to just download unauthorized content.  Reader Yakko Warner points us to the news that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves was telling frustrated PSP users in Australia and New Zealand that they're going to have to keep waiting for games to show up there... <a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/85372-Sonys-David-Reeves-Points-Gamers-At-Bittorrent" target="_new">or they can just download them off BitTorrent</a>:
<blockquote><i>
"You can wait for it and you can have it in good quality, you know you can get the stuff from Bittorrent if you want to and download PSP games, it's up to you."
</i></blockquote>
One would imagine that the legal team at Sony isn't exactly thrilled about the "it's up to you" line at the end there.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080801/0319241862.shtml">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080801/0319241862.shtml#comments">Comments</a> | <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20080801/0319241862.shtml?op=sharethis">Email This Story</a><br />
